Compilation errors

[dpjaf4t]

You are compiling Debug build, aren't you?

1. When you are configuring in CMake, add to the end of CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG, CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG and CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG "/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT" (without the quotes, of course). That will knock down on some of the "function already defined" errors.

2. Be sure you have MYSQL_LIBRARY_DEBUG pointing at the DEBUG version of mysqlclient.lib. That is where you are getting the 'value 0 does not match value 2' errors.

3. And look close at whatever version of MySQL you have ... the errors 'mismatch detected for _MSC_VER expected 1600 got 1800' seem to be saying your MySQL was compiled with Visual Studio 2010, and the debug libraries especially won't be forward-compatible with VS2013.

I had to learn these by a bit of trial and lots of errors ...

I haven't noticed that any of the warnings you're getting are show-stoppers, in the CMake configuration for CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS and CMAKE_C_FLAGS I always change the /W3 flag to /W0 so I don't have to look at them.

For some reason changing to cmake 2.8.11 made the difference.

I downloaded the XAMPP version the wiki said they used, "1.8.3 / PHP 5.5.9" version.

I only loaded VS Express 2013 on the computer. I never used VS 2010, unless the people who created the SQL version used VS 2010 to compile it, that I am unsure of.

I picked VS 2012 in the cmake because the wiki said that was the version for VS Express 2013. I am guessing that cmake version 3.3.1, when choosing VS 2012, as the cmake option, might be the wrong choice for that version of cmake, because for me it gave the errors listed in the first post.

I am new to this level of software understanding. I have been around computers for 30 years now, mostly hardware and small level programming. I am still learning how programs are really put together. This project requires a lot of interfacing between applications that is very tedious and somewhat difficult to follow out the gate.

The forums have been very helpful.
