I've been trying to get the MySQL connector working I've installed both the connector and the mysql client library but I am still getting this error:
obj/Database.obj: In function `Database::connect()':
/home/xeross/alpine/src/server/Database.cpp:13: undefined reference to `get_driver_instance'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [alpine-server] Error 1

make: *** [.build-impl] Error 2
Using Ubuntu 10.04 And my makefile is as follows:

The Code
// Excerpt from .hpp file
#include <cppconn/driver.h>
#include <cppconn/connection.h>
#include <cppconn/resultset.h>
#include <cppconn/statement.h>
// End excerpt
void Database::connect()
{
std::stringstream connString;
connString << "tcp://";
connString << m_host;
connString << ":";
connString << m_port;
m_driver = get_driver_instance(); // This guy is being a *****
m_conn = m_driver->connect(connString.str(), m_user, m_password);
m_conn->setSchema(m_database);
}
What can I do to fix this ?
Finally I could successfully compile a program with C++ connector in Ubuntu 10.10.
Initially I faced the same problem with "undefined reference to `get_driver_instance' " to solve this I declare my driver instance variable of MySQL_Driver type. For ready reference this type is defined in mysql_driver.h file. Here is the code snippet I used in my program.
sql::mysql::MySQL_Driver *driver;
try {
driver = sql::mysql::get_driver_instance();
}
and I compiled the program with -l mysqlcppconn linker option
