Thread: [ C++ and MySQL ] How to compile ?

code:

#include <iostream> #include <mysql.h>  using namespace std;  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {     mysql *connection;     connection = mysql_init(null);     mysql_real_connect(connection, "localhost", "root", "password", "test", 0, null, 0);     return 0; }

code:

g++ main.cpp -o main -l/usr/include/mysql-lmysqlclient -i/usr/include/mysql main.cpp: in function ‘int main(int, char**)’: main.cpp:8: error: ‘mysql’ not declared in scope main.cpp:8: error: ‘connection’ not declared in scope

what i'm doing wrong ?

** don't blame me source code and/or commands i've used - i'm learning , stuff comes tutorial.

i looked mysql.h , found struct there, typedefed "mysql". guess that's want, not "mysql".
