[odb-users] Problems linking libodb-mysql with vs2012

[Isaac Lascasas]

Thank you.

I got it working by building the connector myself from source with windows
cmake. I still don't understand what was going on. I did what you said also
and it still failed. Windows development really needs some revamp.

Regards.
Isaac Lascasas.
