In your source files, you should include
my_global.h before
mysql.h:
#include <my_global.h> #include <mysql.h>
my_global.h includes any other files needed
for Windows compatibility (such as windows.h)
if you compile your program on Windows.
You can either link your code with the dynamic
libmysql.lib library, which is just a wrapper
to load in libmysql.dll on demand, or link
with the static mysqlclient.lib library.
The MySQL client libraries are compiled as threaded libraries, so you should also compile your code to be multi-threaded.
