Hi,
please help me with error.
I want to run simple project below.
I have a lot of errors below and don't know how to fix it.

I use GCC port (Mingw)

#include "mysql/my_global.h"
#include "mysql/mysql.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("MySQL client version: %s\n", mysql_get_client_info());
}

error

Now I have resolved the stack direction thing I have this error:
Note that, the line 415 in my_global.h is simple ifdef include

#ifndef stdin
#include <stdio.h>
#endif

here is error

This post has had over a thousand views can someone pls post an answer...

commented: It's also 1/2 a year old. The OP probably has it fixed by now. If YOU need help, start a new thread. -3

#include<mysql.h> requires GCC 4.5.0 or above, so first thing to do is upgrade compiler.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110211/mingw-get-inst-20110211.exe/download

Some links in the pre-packed are broken, so check "Download latest repository catalogues" upon installation.

Warnings like "finite redefined" can be ignored.

Thanks, but now I work mainly with Linux and I use mysql_config and it works just fine!
