I'm trying to use DDBI with my mysql database for a while but without much success so far..

Everything is a bit chaotic about D, different standard libraries and such things. I hope to be in the know soon..

I'm not sure about my problem, but when linking my application that uses MysqlDatabase I get a lot of linker problems, which I think have the same reason as they had in my old C times.. I need an additional lib file!

I googled a bit for this problem and found several hints. The most promising one is about coffimplib which I have to use to generate the lib from libmysql.dll but whenever I do that, I just get "Error: missing archive signature" which says nothing to me.. Google also doesn't tell me anything aobut that message.

I hope someone here can tell me how to get the mysql lib..

Thanks a lot!

I've tried to use implib instead of coffimplib and this worked fine but it looks like the generated lib doesn't work. Still get these messages

I got it!

According to http://www.steinmole.de/d/ I should ignore the existing lib supplied by mysql but this time I didn't listen!
