When I try the FontMachine tutorial programs I get:

"This application has failed to start because LIBMYSQL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I didn't see anything about it needing a dll and it's not included in the mod or tutorial files. What can I do?

Actually this is affecting any BlitzMax program I try to build, not just FontMachine. I have tried re-installing BM but no joy. Any ideas?

Ok, downloaded the dll and stuck it in windows/system. All sorted now. :)

Rebuild all your modules? remove any third party sql module in your brl or pub folders? Just some ideas...


xlsior(Posted 2009) [#5]
since it affects *all* your blitzmax programs, you probably have a module that depends on SQL stuck somewhere in your BRL.mod of PUB.mod folders.

That's a bad idea, since it means that it will include that SQL mod with every single program you compile that doesn't explicitely use Frameworks, and would require you to spread that DLL with every program you make for it to work on Pc's other than your own... Bad practice...
