how to obtain mysqlclient.dll ?

[busolek]

- is mysqclient.dll to find anywhere ?

- probably,  I could  produce mysqlclient.dll  using  mysqlclient.lib  and
MS VC , but  I  haven't  got  MS VC  and  this would be like  "invention of radio" ,

- maybe is it possible to link lazarus.exe  with mysqlclient.lib statically - how ?

What version of mysql do you use? You could try and download the appropriate MySQL version, it most certainly will come with mysqlclient.dll

Same problem here  

I'm using MySQL 4.0.15nt and Lazarus 0.9.6 Win32 (Windows XP SP2).

When I install mysql components (lazarus\components\mysql\mysql4laz.lpk) I can not start Lazarus any more.

Error message appears: "This application has failed to start because mysqlclient.dll was not found. Re-installing the aplication may fix this problem."

I can not find mysqlclient.dll anywhere on my hard drive !?

MySQL works normaly with Delphi (through dbExpress) and PHP.

I'm very new with Lazarus so any help will be welcome !

THNX !
