How to solve the error in integrating mysql in codeblocks? - mysql

I am trying to integrate mysql into my C code. I added libmysql.lib and mysqlclient.lib in the linker settings and the folder 'include' and 'lib' in search directories. However when I run the code it says 'libmysql.dll' was not found.
I tried to build a project and goto build options and add the linker and search directories but nothing happens

Warning: Could not find file C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar\co

I am getting this error while running the Student Management System project in netbeans Ide project in made in java,jsp,html.Please help me
Your project's build has a dependency on the Java ARchive (.jar file) com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5
There are two possibilities that I see here, without further details on what you have done so far:
1) You already downloaded the jar, but when you specified the path where your build process is gonna look for that file you had an error in your path ... make sure you have a jar file in C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar or C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar\com.mysql.jdbc_5.1.5.jar (I'm thinking you might have copied the name of the jar file twice in your path).
2) If you have not manually downloaded that file, then you should do so. You can find that version at http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/c/Downloadcommysqljdbc515jar.htm (or elsewhere). Once downloaded, make sure to copy/unzip the actual JAR file to your C:\Users\Harsh Jain\Downloads folder.
Once you have ensured the file is actually on your system AND in the right path, run the build again.

How to run a program from Files, coded using MonoDevelop, Gtk#, Ubuntu

I wrote my HelloWorld.cs using MonoDevelop, and Gtk# 2.0. It runs fine in the debugger, and it builds HelloWorld.exe. When I run from a terminal window "mono ./HelloWorld.exe" then the program runs as expected so I know it is coded as expected. However when I attempt to run it by double clicking on it from Files (Linux version of Windows Explorer) it opens Archive Manager with an error "An error occurred while loading the archive".
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS, if that makes a difference.
I tried creating a link "ln -s ./HelloWorld.exe ./meow", and double clicked on meow, however that also opens Archive Manager with the same error.
I don't want my end product to require the user to open a Terminal window to run my program, what do I do so that the user can double click on my program from Files to run?
EDIT: [18FEB2019]
Thanks Some programmer dude, I like the bundle idea as I may port this project to a different flavor of linux and I hope this gives me a path to get there.
However, I got error:
Failure to load i18n assemblies, the following directories were searched for the assemblies:
Path: .
In Custom mode, you need to provide the directory to lookup assemblies from using -L
ERROR: Couldn't load one or more of the i18n assemblies: Failed to load I18N.dll
I searched and found
https://www.mono-project.com/docs/tools+libraries/tools/mkbundle/
I followed those directions and got stuck at this part
mkbundle -o CacheServer --cross mono-5.8.0-ubuntu-16.04-x64 CacheServer.exe --machine-config /etc/mono/4.5/machine.config
my error is
ERROR: Unable to load assembly `gtk-sharp' referenced by `/home/amccombs/Projects/HelloWorld/HelloWorld/bin/Debug/HelloWorld.exe'
I tried
mkbundle --fetch-target gtk-sharp
with result
Failure to download the specified runtime from https://download.mono-project.com/runtimes/raw/gtk-sharp
I then tried
sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp
with result
E: Unable to locate package gtk-sharp
Files is detecting the .exe extension as an archive, and therefore it opens it with File Roller or similar.
Just right-click the file HelloWorld.exe and select "Open With Other Application", click on "Find New Applications", and then type "mono" and press ENTER. The app will open.
Another possibility is to create a .desktopfile, and place it under ~/.local/share/applications, with this contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=mono %F
MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;
Name=mono
NoDisplay=true
Type=Application
MKBundle creates a native app from a mono application. The downside is that you have to compile both the app and all its dependencies, which can be tricky. In any case, the package you are looking for is gtk-sharp2.
An alternative to MKBundle is to include a text file, say HelloWorld.sh with the contents:
mono HelloWorld.exe
And then make it executable with:
chmod +x HelloWorld.sh
You can then pack both files together (use a .tar.gz target, which preserves attributes such as the executable one), and probably with a README file explaining to double-click HelloWorld.sh.
Or maybe you can pack the .exe with the .desktop file, and explain in the README file where it must be placed.
There are tons of possibilities.

Qt Dynamically load MySQL driver

I have no experience with deploying apps. I started manually (by copying release.exe to target PC and 1-by-1 resolving it's DLL dependencies). I've ran into "Driver not loaded Driver not loaded" wall and I'm stuck now.
I tried starting anew with the help of windeployqt, it compiled a nice set of files and directories, and still that same error.
I tried checking arch of dlls with notepad hack and tried redownloading libmysql.dll from different places. I have rebuilt qsqlmysql.dll manually (only to learn I really needed libmysql.dll). I added project folder to PATH variable, still to no avail.
I've heard that Dependecy Walker might help, but it didn't, it only warned me that there were errors finding some files, to quote,
Error: At least one required implicit or forwarded dependency was not found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
So I'm begging for a method to learn where to put the DLL. Or just for a path, regarding that the app, dlls and everithing is 32-bit.
P.S. I've just learned that if I try to statically link that .lib file (which is by the way 30KB in size compared to .dll's 4MB) the build is successful but it changes nothing. DLL still needed
Download the 32bit connector for MySQL from here, then make a dynamic link to the lib, (Project -> Add Library -> External -> Dynamic), tick the platfrom you are working on; something like:
win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../mysql/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32/lib/ -llibmysql
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../mysql/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32/lib/ -llibmysqld
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../mysql/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../mysql/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32/include

xxx.mex: failed to load: No such file or directory

For some time, I've been using some .mex files I created. Now I have a new computer. I copied all the files over and reinstalled Cygwin and Octave. When I try to execute any of the .mex routines I get a message like:
error: testm: /cygdrive/c/A/Cwin/...../quad.mex: failed to load: No such file or directory
The file is definitely there and I'm having no trouble loading .m files from the same directory. It does not say there is anything wrong with the file. I'm guessing this is some sort of configuration problem. I am running Octave 4.2.1. When I start it, I get the following message:
Octave was configured for "x86_64-unknown-cygwin".
Could that have something to do with it? I think I'm developing x64 paranoia, since all my Excel .dll macros no longer work either. Thanks.

Trying to get RmySQL to work but not understanding bash's export or filesystem conventions

I am trying to install RMySQL on my mac (mavericks) and it errors out when I try to build it from source, saying:
Configuration error: could not find the MySQL installation include
and/or library directories. Manually specify the location of the
MySQL libraries and the header files and re-run R CMD INSTALL.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Define and export the 2 shell variables PKG_CPPFLAGS and PKG_LIBS to include the directory for header files (*.h) and
libraries, for example (using Bourne shell syntax):
export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I"
export PKG_LIBS="-L -lmysqlclient"
Re-run the R INSTALL command:
R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_.tar.gz
I tried to follow the instructions by entering:
export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mysql/include" export
PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient"
but when I re-run RMySQL it still doesn't work. Moreover, if I type
$PKG_LIBS
to see what that variable holds, I get
-bash: -L/usr/local/mysql/lib: No such file or directory'
I know that /usr/local/mysql/lib exists and it does contain a mySQL header. Am I misunderstanding the instructions?
I'm asking here only after a lot of effort to find solutions and/or work arounds. Sucks being a noob sometimes.
I am going to assume you're trying to get RmySQL to run on R 3.1.0 on Mavericks? Rather than worry about exporting variables etc, here is a simple clean solution for you that should avoid the headaches.
The RMySQL install link Pascal provided above really is your solution. You're probably just stumbling on syntax, or getting things to work from the terminal.
Even if you're a "noob", you should be able to get this working. I'll try to offer a "dummy's guide" walk through here, as I bet there are many others who have this problem too, even after trying to read the RMySQL installation readme.
I would bet with very high confidence the problem is just that you aren't specifying correctly the locations of the library and header folders for compiling. Read the errors carefully when you try to compile... the errors will probably tell you a file/header is missing, or some .so file (shared object) is missing.
One simple way compile RMySQL from source on R 3.1.0, mavericks is as follows (this does not require you to set any environmental variables, no editing of the Renviron file, etc):
Does MySQL work by itself? i.e. Can you open/run it no problems? If not, fix that first.
Find the precise location of your mysql installation. For me, on Mavericks, I see mysql installed at /usr/local/mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86_64 (your version number may be different). There is also another folder /usr/local/mysql which is an alias to /usr/local/mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86_64 (/usr/local/mysql finds the current version of mysql you are using, if multiple mysql file folders exist, I think). In this directory, I see two sub directories (among many) called "include" and "lib". Take a look; "include" will contain header files (include as in #include , etc, in simple C++ programs). The "lib" folder contains compiled source code of the mysql library.
An easy way to compile and install RMySQL which doesn't exactly follow the suggested way to do it in the installation guide is this. Note that this is doing the same thing as in the installation guide, just a little easier as it's one command line from the terminal, once you know where your mysql install folder is. Go to the terminal, and type the following exactly, with one space between each chunk (with your mysql folder name adjusted appropriately for the version number):
PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mysql/include/" PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/ -lmysqlclient" R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
OR (the same thing, just more typing)
PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86_64/include/" PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/local/mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86_64/lib/ -lmysqlclient" R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
Note for dummies: Make sure when you run this command, that you are doing it from the terminal in the directory that contains the RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz file (or whatever the name of your folder is that contains the RMySQL source code)
and RMySQL compiles!
Don't be afraid about trying to compile source code -- it's not just for 'compiled language programmers' or 'computer science graduates'. Most of the time when compiling fails it's just because files are "missing" (there is no corruption on the source code) -- the user hasn't properly specified the locations of the header and libraries (shared objects). Now pull your big boy/girl panties up and just do it .... it's easy.
Notes for people clueless about compiling source code for packages in R:
a) pay special attention to the spacing in the above, otherwise it may not work. Do not have any spaces between the = and the variable/file names (e.g. don't try and have in the above PKG_CPPFLAGS ="-I/usr/local/mysql/include/" as it won't work)
b) When compiling, you want to specify the locations of the header files and the library files and this is what the "-I/ .... " and "-L/ ...." are doing. The -I directory specifies the location of the header files, and the -L the location of the library files. The library files also require the -l[name of library] extension (the -l is short for -lib in the library object names).
c) Note that in the directory /usr/local/mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86_64/lib/ I do not see a file called "lmysqlclient", or even "libmysqlclient", but I do see files named (among others) "libmysqlclient.a" and "libmysqlclient.18.dylib". So don't worry about your MySQL installation not being correct if you don't see a file just called "libmysqlclient" in the lib folder.
