Installing the server won't solve his linking problem.
I never built it on Windows; but if the MySQL clients bring some LIB files with them, try copying them to the source directory of the mod. Copying the .DLL files there might also help.
Like I've said, I never tried building it on Windows, but I had similar problems on OS X (and gave up on it, actually). With ADO.NET everything works fine, but that won't solve your problem either. ;-)
