Hello, When trying to compile one of brucey's modules, I get the following error: /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:32:23: error: my_global.h: No such file or directory /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:34:19: error: mysql.h: No such file or directory /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:39: error: ‘MYSQL_FIELD’ was not declared in this scope /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:39: error: ‘field’ was not declared in this scope /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:39: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘{’ token /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:43: error: ‘MYSQL_FIELD’ was not declared in this scope /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:43: error: ‘field’ was not declared in this scope /Users/cjimenez/BlitzMax/mod/bah.mod/dbmysql.mod/mysqlhelper.cpp:43: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘{’ token etc..... Any ideas? Thanks!

Did you install the Mysql headers / client libs? Dunno how to do on a Mac, but this is needed as this ".h"-files are only needed for people developing with some libs. Your clients do not need this files - but you to compile successful. Maybe the other errors are gone then too. bye Ron

I have compiled this before in Windows, and indeed there´s a lib/win32 folder with libmysql.a, but I don't see anything similar for OSX.

For OS X and Linux, you will need the (32-bit) MySQL client libraries installed on your system. You should be able to find them on the MySQL website : somewhere here

Thanks, Brucey! That did the trick :)
