Imported library not compatible with build - exception

I've compiled the Berkeley DB library and included in my iOS project in Xcode 4.2. The project compiles just fine, but when I run it I get the following error:
BDB1539 Build signature doesn't match environment
.
.
.
lots of exceptions here with no useful information
.
.
.
terminate called throwing an exception(gdb)
The project is one of the templates that comes with Xcode. The only thing I've changed is added the header for the berkeley library, linked the library itself and created an instance of the DB in the init of the model controller.
I ran lipo on the library to make sure it was the correct architecture and got the following result:
>lipo -info libdb_cxx-5.3.a
input file libdb_cxx-5.3.a is not a fat file
Non-fat file: libdb_cxx-5.3.a is architecture: i386
It appears to be the correct architecture.
What is a reasonable way of debugging what is going wrong here?

Actually, also had this problem, and it happened because I created my database with the debug library and tried to open it later using release. Something for people to be aware of...

It turns out "Build signature doesn't match environment" is a Berkeley DB exception that I triggered when I passed in a unix path instead of an iOS path as the DB location for the environment.

(VS13) mysqlclient.lib compiles (i think) as Static Multithreaded Debug even if the Runtime Library setting is Multithreaded Debug DLL

I'm trying to compile the mysqlclient.lib library as a Multithreaded Debug DLL. I need it in this configuration to be able to link it to my project. To give some context I will explain what have I done so far:
I cloned the MySQL repository: git clone https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.git
I created the MySQL.sln by running CMake.
I opened the solution in Visual Studio 2013 and built it with the Runtime Library setting equal to /MDd.
I have tried to link the thus compiled library mysqlclient.lib to my project(which is compiled with /MDd) but I'm still getting the error:
mysqlclient.lib(plugin_client.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MTd_StaticDebug' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' in main.obj
I have run dumpbin /all mysqlclient.lib | find /i "mvscr" obtaining as a result /DEFAULTLIB:MSVCRTD which suggests that the library has been compiled as /MDd.
I have to admit that before wanting to link mysqlclient.lib to my project I was not even aware of the Runtime Library setting. At this point I don't completely understand why I'm getting the linker error above, which is why I wrote in the title that I think that the library is still getting compiled as /MTd. If anyone could point me to the right direction in order to solve my problem it would be very much appreciated.
EDIT
Reading better the MySQL documentation I found out that if my project is built as /MDd or /MD I have to link it to the libmysql.dll dynamic library. Section Compiling MySQL Clients on Microsoft Windows, second to last paragraph.

Razor Engine on Mono 3.2.x with Fast CGI - target specific .net?

My site works on mono 2.10 and I'm nearly done on a brand new server upgrading to mono 3.2.x.
It works using XSP4, the ServiceStack Razor views render correctly. (And it fixes a lot of artefacts in 2.10)
When I set the site to use nginx + Fast CGI (4) however I get a HttpCompileException, caused by:
The predefined type `System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList' is defined multiple times. Using definition from `mscorlib.dll'
Remember this works fine with xsp4 so I think it needs some setting to tie it to one .Net instance, maybe it's confused between .net 4.0 and .net 4.5? Any suggestions on how I can force it to use only one of these?
Note: I installed from git using latest (3.2.7), as the 3.2.5 release would crash. I'm using a clean Amazon EC2 Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. It didn't have mono on it before, and when I tried 3.2.5 it was another now deleted instance.
This is largely the same error as: RazorEngine on Mono - TemplateCompilationException thrown
But I had no other version installed. The build process added others which have since been deleted to no effect. All instances of mscorlib are here:
/usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll
/usr/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll
/usr/lib/mono/4.0/mscorlib.dll
I found out what the problem is and was able to solve it.
The culprit are these files:
https://github.com/mono/xsp/tree/master/src/Mono.WebServer.FastCgi/Compatibility
For some reason, they added these compaibility classes that are compiled to a NET 4.0 target (which does not have the IReadOnlyList class), but when we run the fastcgi-mono-server4, it runs under the 4.5 runtime, which do have a IReadOnlyList class and therefore generates the Razor HttpCompile error.
The solution was adding these 2 parameters -d:NET_4_5 -sdk:4.5 to the Makefile.in of the FastCGI source project:
#NET_4_0_TRUE# $(DMCS) -d:NET_2_0 -d:NET_4_0 -d:NET_4_5 -sdk:4.5 $(MCSFLAGS) $(references4) /out:$# \
Then I recompiled and reinstalled with ./configure, make, make install and the Razor compile error was gone for good.
If you don't want to go through all this trouble, I'd recommend sticking to the latest released version of the xsp project, which didn't have these Compatibility classes.

MySQL++ Application error at launch

I compiled MySQL++ with no issues. When I launched some of the executables (resetdb.exe and simple1.exe) they suggest to run to test if the installation has been successful, the first error I got was that libmysql.dll was missing.
Adding its path to the PATH environment variable did not fix the problem, even after launching a new command prompt; I had to copy the DLL in the directory where MySQL++ executables are.
Now the DLL is found, but I get this error:
simple1.exe - Application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
Click OK to close the application.
even launching from the command line, I get no more information than these.
Thank you for any help!
MySQL 5.5 -
MySQL++ 3.0.9 -
Windows 7 64 bits -
MINGW32 -
GCC 4.4.0
0xC000007B is a Windows error that means the executable is corrupted. It could refer either to simple1.exe or to one of the DLLs it's linking against.
Some reasons this could happen:
You're mixing toolchains in an incompatible way. In your case, you may have built simple1.exe using pieces built by MinGW GCC and pieces built by Visual C++. MinGW should be compatible with any pure C DLL built by Visual C++, including the MySQL C API DLL. However, you may have other pieces interfering. MinGW isn't compatible with VC++ at the C++ level, but then, it shouldn't have linked at all if this were your problem.
You didn't follow the MySQL C API import library build steps in README-MinGW.txt. You either missed a step, or skipped it entirely and are trying to use the import library that shipped with MySQL.
In your previous gyrations, you ended up with a corrupt object file, which got linked in. Try saying make clean all at the top level of MySQL++ to force a complete rebuild.
You're mixing versions of MySQL or MySQL++. If you have more than one version of each on the system, make sure you're consistent in their use. That is, build the C API import library from the same DLL you run the programs against, use exrun.bat to run the examples to ensure you're using the just-built version of the MySQL++ DLL instead of another you have in your PATH, etc.
Additionally, I note that you're using an older version of MySQL++. If you were on Linux, I could understand that as some distributions still ship with 3.0.9. But since you have to build MySQL++ from source with MinGW, I don't see why you're not using 3.1.0. Did you get a binary build from somewhere?
As for your PATH problem, did you restart the MinGW shell after doing this? PATH updates don't affect running programs; they keep the value they saw when they started.

MySQL and Matlab

I want to interact with a MySQL database from Matlab.
I found a mysql "library" for matlab here and the same on mathworks.
I followed the instructions to compile the library and the compilation seems to be successful. I get a mex32 file at the end. Only, the instructions on the first page refer to a Dll that I need to use (I guess that a Dll was supposed to be generated).
I am not familiar with the mex compiler or with compiling external modules for Matlab.
Am I missing something trivial? Where is the Dll supposed to be?
Thanks.
The reference to the dll is obsolete.
When you compile a mex function on Windows, you compile it as a dll (not an .exe). Thus, compiled mex functions used to have the extension .dll. Mex-functions with .dll extensions still work, but there is a warning that this might stop being the case in the future.
When 64-bit Windows arrived, TheMathWorks needed a way that people were to be able to compile the same mex-function for both Win32 and Win64, thus they changed the extension to .mexw32 and .mexw64, respectively. Apparently, they did not update the documentation completely.
I'd recommend using java to connect MATLAB and MySQL (or any other db if required).
The java database connector is simple to set up. I built a simple java class to connect to the database - see previous posting for a crude but working solution.
The MATLAB code works as indicated
% include java class
import Jam.ConnectToDatabase
% set up database connection info
userName='myName';
userPassword='myPassword';
databaseUrl='jdbc:mysql://glnd2818898.internal.net/2000';
% create java class instance and open connection to the database
ctd = ConnectToDatabase;
ctd.openConnection(userName, userPassword, databaseUrl)
Once the connection is open I can then use the java methods to submit SQL queries, create tables, insert data etc. I'd never used java before but I downloaded Netbeans and I was away.
OK, here is the solution to my problem.
The compilation does generate a mex32 file (32 is because I compiled it under a 32bit systme). You can check the output file of the compilation by running mexext. So apparently a mex32 file is a compiled version of the C file.
Once I placed the file in a directory that is in the Matlab's path it worked.
I guess the reference to the Dll in the link I provided is either obsolete or wrong.

MySQL C API libraries for iPhone

Does anybody know where to get a MySQL libraries compiled for the arm iPhone architecture?
Or how to cross-compile MySQL for arm?
Thanx
Here's how I did it:
1) Download the source code version of Connector/C from MySQL
2) Download cmake (if you have macports installed, type "sudo port install cmake")
3) Get toolchain files from http://sites.google.com/site/michaelsafyan/coding/resources/how-to-guides/cross-compile-for-the-iphone/how-to-cross-compile-for-the-iphone-using-cmake
4) In the toolchain file for the simulator, remove one architecture from the line containing CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES
5) If you want to build for the simulator, copy the missing headers in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.2.sdk/usr/include/netinet/ (ip.h and in_system.h) from /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.2.sdk/usr/include/netinet
6) Create a directory called "compiled_library" somewhere, eg on your Desktop
7) Call cmake like this:
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/iphone-toolchain-file -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/compiled_library -DHAVE_FDATASYNC:INTERNAL=0
8) Note that if you want to run cmake a 2nd time, you might have to delete the cache file first
9) type make install
10) Now you have the compiled library in /path/to/compiled_library. Copy the header file directory and libmysql.a to your xcode project via "Add existing files...". The library should be automtically added to the linker stage.
11) WOOHOO. Use the mysql C API.
12) If this is too much work, I'm currently writing a MySQL wrapper framework for the iPhone. I will publish it sometime in the next ten years and put a link here.
EDIT:
Someone else created an Objective C Wrapper for the MySQL client library: http://www.karlkraft.com/index.php/2010/09/17/mysql-for-iphone-and-osx/
do you need client or server libraries? Anyway, since OS X supports unix scripts you should at least try build using "regular Unix" approach:
client:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-c-building.html
server:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installing-source.html
You can use Kumulos 'Hookup' http://www.kumulos.com/2011/07/06/introducing-hookup/ feature to build a suite of web services for your MySQL database.
Basically you define your different web services in the online control panel, then it builds all the Objective-C code and server side code.
I believe this is the easiest way to achieve your goals, and probably a lot better than using a direct Objective-C MySQL library.
This worked for me:
https://github.com/thrivesmart/just-mysql-example-mac-app-objective-c-xcode/issues/1
No compilation needed
Just use that LIB and replace the lib with the other repo!
I don't believe you can run MySQL on the iPhone. As Ben pointed out SQLite is built into the iPhone and you can use Core Data to manage structured data.
