Question

I am using Netbeans and MacoSX and installed 64bit connector. On building I am getting following errors:

/usr/bin/make -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk SUBPROJECTS= .build-conf
/usr/bin/make  -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk dist/Debug/GNU-MacOSX/inventory

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 538ms)

In Netbeans I am linking libmysqlcppconn.dylib only.

What files am I missing?
Why is it asking for BOOST? and which Boost Libs do I need to install?

Answer 1

mysql_connection.h includes #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>, you could either use latest versions of boost or modify below lines mysql_connection.h to use std::shared_ptr instead:

update

#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
boost::shared_ptr< NativeAPI::NativeConnectionWrapper > proxy;

to

#include <memory>
std::shared_ptr< NativeAPI::NativeConnectionWrapper > proxy;
