problem in MySQL with VC++6 in Win2000

Dear Friends,
I'm Ashok Kumar.P.S, a new member to this forum. i need one urgent help from u. I'm using Win2000 and i tried to create a client program for MySQL4.1 using VC++6. I had installed the MySQL using msi package(Windows Installer, Source distribution). when i'm trying to run the pgm it's giving some linker errors. i gave those errs here followed by the pgm.(There is no compilation errs).
And also i added the lib directory in the option menu( both the directories inside the lib(opt and debug)).
Is it necessary to use the MySQL binary distribution?

Code:

---

#include <my_global.h>
#include <my_sys.h>
#include <mysql.h>

static char *opt_host_name = NULL;
static char *opt_user_name = NULL;
static char *opt_password = NULL;
static unsigned int opt_port_num = 0;
static char *opt_socket_name = NULL;
static char *opt_db_name = NULL;
static unsigned int opt_flags = 0;

static MYSQL *conn;
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  conn = mysql_init (NULL);
  if (conn == NULL)
  {
    fprintf (stderr, "mysql_init() failed (probably out of memory)\n");
    exit (1);
  }

  if (mysql_real_connect (conn, opt_host_name, opt_user_name,  opt_password, opt_db_name, opt_port_num, opt_socket_name, opt_flags) == NULL)
  {
    fprintf (stderr, "mysql_real_connect() failed\n");
    mysql_close (conn);
    exit (1);
  }

  mysql_close (conn);
  exit (0);
}


The errs r:

userinfo.obj : error LINK2001 : unresolved external symbol _mysql_close@4
userinfo.obj : error LINK2001 : unresolved external symbol _mysql_real_connect@32
userinfo.obj : error LINK2001 : unresolved external symbol _mysql_init@4
userinfo.obj : error LINK2001 : unresolved external symbol _winmain@16

Thanks and Regards,

It shouldn't be nessesary to use the binary distribution.

"undefined reference to winmain16" sounds like it can't find main().

Did you compile the source into the library(s)?
You also need to add the .lib file(s) to your project by going to project->settings and clicking the link tab.
As for the winmain error, this happens when you have a mina() function but try to compile a GUI app. Either change it to a console app or use a winmain function.
