Re: Problems with Visual C++

Hi all,

Just letting you know I have *finally* got my problem fixed.  Inside the 
preprocessor, i had MAKE_MYSQLPP_DLL declared (I must of read this 
somewhere) which apparantly was building an incorrect mysqlpp.dll.  I 
removed this from the preprocessor, and copied the mysqlpp.dll file from 
the mysql++/debug (i think it was /debug) directory into my project 
directory, and it solved the link errors.  How I found this was when I 
was trialing and erroring different settings I removed the 
MAKE_MYSQLPP_DLL line and it compiled/linked fine but couldn't find the 
mysqlpp.dll, which made me think about how sample1 was doing it, and it 
just had the mysqlpp.dll in the project directory.  In summary for 
people with troubles with this I think the major things were:
- Make sure sample1 from mysql++ works
- Copy the majority of the linker / C/C++ settings from sample1 into a 
windows forms project (but keep stuff like Systems as Windows)
- Run install.bat in command prompt and copy the folders from C:\mysq++\ 
into your install directory
- Follow README.vc and don't worry about the managed extensions bit at 
the start, it doesn't seem to be an option anymore.  Ensure you have the 
linker libraries correct (check the folders your linking to and see 
whether the .lib files or whatever you are using are actually in 
there).  Do the same for the include file directories and in sample1 
where it just says "debug" link to your mysql++ install directory \debug.
- Copy mysqlpp.dll from your mysql++\debug directory into your project 
folder
I think that's all that I ended up changing, I don't know which steps 
could be skipped etc. because once it worked I just wanted to get 
started and not play around seeing exactly how it worked.  Just alot of 
trial and error is needed, alot of the errors you can search for the 
codes on google and see similar problems and try to relate it to mysql++. 

Anyway thanks for all the help,

Michael.
