Compile Error: Incomplete Type
Hi All-
I am using Eclipse and trying to build a release version of a program I have written in ANSI C for a project. I am able to get it to build as a Debug version with just a couple of warnings but when I do a release version I get a lot more errors and no build. Here is the output from the full (release) version of the build:
**** Clean-only build of configuration Release for project UpdateSysState ****

All the errors related to mysql.h I have no control over... They are part of the header file for MySQL that I need. The warnings are invalid, as these are functions used by mysql and should also be included... At least I am able to call them from a Debug version. Here is the output I get when I do that:

Can anyone give me an idea of what might be causing this, or some options to make the compiler less anal-retentive here?
Thanks,
Eric
