I’m using Eclipse Juno CDT.

I added the following to my project:

  • the mysql/includes path to the includes path setting
  • the libmysql.lib and zlib.lib to libraries setting
  • the mysql library path to the library paths setting

Now, when I make my project, the compilation throws an error when I run the application.
This is the build:

10:08:56 **** Build of configuration Debug for project mysqlapp ****
make all 
Building file: ../src/mysqlapp.c
Invoking: Cygwin C Compiler
gcc -I"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.0.2\include" -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD -MP -MF"src/mysqlapp.d" -MT"src/mysqlapp.d" -o "src/mysqlapp.o" "../src/mysqlapp.c"
cygwin warning: 
MS-DOS style path detected: C:\Users\Yonaton\workspace\mysqlapp\Debug
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/Users/Yonaton/workspace/mysqlapp/Debug
 CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

Finished building: ../src/mysqlapp.c

Building target: mysqlapp.exe

gcc -L"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.0.2\lib\opt" -o "mysqlapp.exe"  ./src/mysqlapp.o   
Finished building target: mysqlapp.exe

And this is the run within eclipse:

10:09:55 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project mysqlapp ****
make all 
src/mysqlapp.d:1: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

    Under Project->Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Libraries do not add the file name of the library, nor the path.

    So if you want to link against /lib64/libz.so just add z.

    Or alternativly add the z under Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->GCC Linker->Libraries.

    If the library is not located under a standard path add the custom search path for a library under Project->Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Libraries Paths.

    Update (referring “multiple target patterns”):

    make does not like DOS paths. In the .d file a : after the drive letter is interpreted as target delimiter.

    Switch to UNIX paths (as you were already told to do … ;-)).

    (see also: "multiple target patterns" Makefile error)
