Thread: linker problem with mysql

Hi,

I am trying my hands on compiling a C program using the API from mysql. The below is my simple program:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mysql.h>

MYSQL	*conn;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	printf("Hello, world and Goodbye\n");
}

I manage to compile using the below:

C:\project\code>cl -c -I "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\include" clien
t1.c
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86

client1.c


However when linking I got the following error:

C:\project\code>cl client1.obj -link

/out:client1.exe
client1.obj

Thanks in advance
