Included with the dbmysql module is a libmysql.a file (in dbmysql.mod/lib/win32). This file you should put into your BlitzMax/lib folder.

You will also need the MySQL client DLLs, which you can download from the mysql website. (Look for the Windows MySQL downloads. I think the smallest is about 20 meg - which is the server too, but with it you get the DLLs).


DBPostgreSQL :
Again, there is a libpq.a file provided with the module (in the dbpostgresql.mod/lib folder). This you should copy into BlitzMax/lib.

You will need the postgres client DLLs, which you can download from the postgres website.


The .a files are required for compiling the modules. The DLLs are for actually running the apps.
