Visual Studio 2015 compiles 64-bit MySQL connector/c++

Currently MySQL connector/c++ binary version of the highest only support vs2008,vs2015 need to download source code self-compiled.

Although the MySQL manual provides information, there are a number of details to note during the compilation process.

CMAKE

Download the latest stable version on the website

Add the Bin directory to the environment variable path

Boost

Also to the official website to download the latest stable version

MySQL Client library

MySQL Client library header file in the Include directory under MySQL directory

Yes, compiling connector also requires downloading a MySQL Server

Add the environment variable Mysql_dir, the value is the MySQL server root directory

CMake will find the header file under Mysql_dir/include

Download MySQL connector/c++ source code

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/

Select "Source Code" in "Select Platform"

Download unzip

Build vs Solution file

Open a CMD window and go to the extracted MySQL connector root directory

Perform

Cmake-g "Visual Studio Win64"-dboost_root: STRING=d:/bin/boost159

which

1. Win64 is very important, otherwise the x86 solution is generated.
2. -dboost_root:string declares the root directory of the Boost library, setting its value according to its own configuration.

compiling MySQL Connector

In the MySQL connector root directory, you can see the generated. sln file, double-click Open

Dozens of engineering documents, in addition to libraries including examples, tests, etc.

In the Solution Explorer window, locate the Mysqlcppconn project, right-click, select Build

Failed......

In the "Output" window, select output from "Generate", Ctrf+f, search "error", you can see

>c:\program Files (x86) \ Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\stdio.h (1927): Fatal error C1189: #error: Macro Definition of snprintf conflicts with standard Library function declaration

The previous line is

2> d:\bin\mysql-connector-c++-1.1.6\driver\nativeapi/mysql_private_iface.h: NOTE: See the previous definition of "snprintf"

Double-click on this line, navigate to the 48 line of Mysql_private_iface.h, comment out

// #if (defined (_WIN32) | | defined (_WIN64)) &&!defined (snprintf) // #define SNPRINTF _snprintf // #endif

In the Output window, select the output from "Generate", click "Remove all" to generate the project again

Failed...... Once again

Look at the generated information again, the same problem

Double-click to navigate to the 516 line of m_config.h, and note the

// #define SNPRINTF _snprintf

Re-build

After flashing a few screens of warning message, the compilation succeeds

Compile all

In the Solution Explorer window, right-click the solution and select Build Solution

Finally more than 10 projects, more than 10 projects failed to ignore the failure

At this time to get VS2015 library files, examples of engineering
