digitalmars.D - Has anyone successfully used D (or even DMC) with MySQL on Windows?
- Don Clugston (12/12) Jan 03 2006 There's a DBI project on dsource with a port of the mysqlclient headers;
- Don Clugston (7/21) Jan 03 2006 Problem solved. For future reference:
- Manfred Hansen (4/28) Jan 03 2006 I will make an advice on my hompage.
- S. Chancellor (8/29) Jan 03 2006 Are you planning to write some kind of class wrapper for it? The C api
- Don Clugston (5/39) Jan 04 2006 I wasn't planning on writing anything myself, but if someone else does,
- bobef (2/16) Jan 04 2006 I think there are sqllite bindings on dprogramming.com if this can help....
There's a DBI project on dsource with a port of the mysqlclient headers; but as far as I can tell, it's only been used on Linux. The mysqlclient.lib that comes with MySQL is a MSVC6 file (it's a static COFF library, not an import lib). So it's not possible to link it. The source is available, so it should be possible to recompile with DMC. So, I've downloaded the MySQL source. But, the project file is a horrible mess, there isn't a sensible makefile. I think it would be necessary to make a makefile manually. I have VC6 installed on this machine, so I can check the settings. But it looks as though porting it would be an unpleasant experience. (and it would need to be redone with new releases of MySQL). Has anyone already done it? Or is there another alternative?

For future reference: I used the Manfred Hansen's Linux database bindings mentioned on Wiki4D, (Note: you need to change extern(C) to extern(Windows)), then use the new coffimplib tool to create an OMF .lib for the libmySQL.dll file. Ignore the libmyclient.lib completely.

The DBI project on Dsource.org was rescued from oblivion last week, and is looking for a new owner. At the very least, it might give you some ideas.Don Clugston wrote:Are you planning to write some kind of class wrapper for it? The C api is not very friendly to quick development.
