Problems Compiling

[premal mishra]

I'm trying to use C API to MySQL.

MySQL Version: 4.0.20a
Distribution   Windows Binary
Machine:       P IV on intel 845GL board, 256 MB Ram, Win98se
Compiler:      Digital Mars C/C++ Compiler Version 8.40 
         (ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/Digital_Mars_C++/Patch/dm840c.zip)  
   
WHEN I COMPILE THE FOLLOWING CODE:

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <mysql.h>

int main() {

        return 0;
        }


I GET FOLLOWING ERROR:

c:\sc\bin\sc -Ic:\mysql\include -Nc -Ae -J -c test1.cpp
