Re: ld problems

[Kirth <kirth@hole.org>]

ahh right that fixed it, mind you im not getting undefined reference's
to thinks like mysql_init .. theres are definitly part of the mysqlclient
lib. I had thought to compilie mysql myself, however it gives a few hundred
errors, so that was no go.

Any suggestions ? ive tried the library that comes with mysql for windows,
the one from the extra mysqlclients package, and even copying across
my linux library, all give roughly the same undefined reference's.

sorry if thats a bit OT, mysql doesnt seem to have a mailing list
for compiling under cygwin with it.
