Hello After days of tests with different configurations for my VC++ project, finally I was able to run it using both Release and Debug versions with MySQL... now I have a few doubts on the application deployment...
1. The library was linked DINAMICALLY (DLL) since I want the MySQL code independent from my binary (not linked statically), but my doubt is if it would be a problem that the different target computers may cause problems if the version of the installed MySQL is different... In Linux I have no problem while the installed MySQL library is the same version or newer, but would it cause a problem in windows if the version is not the same that was used to build my app? or for example if the MySQL is upgraded and the version changes for a new one? 2. It may be possible that the target machine is not a server, just a client, so the MySQL may not be installed... is it allowed to include the libmysql.* files into my installation package? After all, if I link the static version the library is still included inside the binary (executable) file, but don't know if it is okay to include the DLL/LIB files when linked dynamically. 3. If it is allowed to include the library as external DLL, if the target machine already has installed MySQL, would it interfer if I install the DLL? The windows PATH has already appended C:\...\MySQL\lib so I think that would not affect since the system would find first the MySQL installation library (anything appended to the path is appended at the end, so my installed files would be after the MySQL in the PATH)... or I should make it optional at install time depending if the user has or has not MySQL installed?
