In your previous email you said you are using MinGW. You cannot
build a Cygwin library and then use it in a MinGW build. These
are different systems.

I don't really understand why you did this.

That should be libmysql.lib, not mysqlclient.lib.

There seems to be a problem with your Cygwin setup and this mailing
list is not really about how to setup Cygwin or MinGW or how to use
it. Building ODB runtimes in these environments is not a trivial
task, especially if you are not an experienced MinGW/Cygwin user.

If you want to get started with ODB on Windows, the easiest way
would be to get a copy of Visual Studio (you can get Express
Edition for free) and then use the provided project/solution
files to build the runtime libraries and examples. There are
step-by-step instructions in the INSTALL files.
