I have been trying for some months to use the C api with Borland builder, so far with only limited success. I can write a console application in the Builder environment, compile it, but not link it. The error says the library routines are not found. If I export the make file, edit it to include the required libraries and run it from the command line, all is well (for a while). If I actually compile and run a programme using the VCL in the same directory, then the original program will no longer link. If I move the code to a new directory, it will now link again. I have discovered no way of linking a Builder programme using the VCL to the mysql library, either in the environment, or by hand. Always, the library routines cannot be found. If anyone has any experience with this environment, I would be very grateful for any information or help you could provide. ------------------- Layton Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
