Hi,
Am a newbie to mysql. I am trying to deploy mysql database server on a windows machine and update this database from a remote linux machine(client) periodically. The connection to mysql server in windows is failing when i run the client program at mysql_real_connect (). Am using mysql-5.0.7-beta-win32 in windows XP. However the same client(hostname alone changed) is able to communicate and create database when i run the mysql server on linux machine. Am using MySQL-devel-5.0.7-0.i386.rpm in linux. Another question: I use the following command to compile the client application. "gcc connect1.c -o mycli -I /usr/include/mysql/ -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm" Is it possible to port these libraries to ECOS RTOS so that the above client app(mycli) can run on a embedded device(IXP425 board) ? Any comments are highly appreciable. Thanks prashanth
