MySQL (error) Code Reference

Wouldn’t you know it - in my various console stress test apps that I wrote I had no issues compiling and linking.  Now that it’s time to integrate with my existing app that uses the Oracle libs - now I’m having linker errors everywhere.

It looks to be a conflict between memory managers … oh… joy.

They say understanding and fixing linker errors is the sign of an experienced programmer.  I just think of it as annoyingly time consuming.

• definition for item A couldn’t be found
• track down item A
• Oh look - there are several of them - which one should I use?
• Are there any defines that need to be set?
• Are there project dependencies that I skipped?
• Are the two projects using the same C Runtime?  Static/Dynamic and SingleThread/MultiThread?
• summon archaine knowlege about one of the projects your linking to - you seem to remember some mentioning how it wasn’t compatable with something & it’s not documented in the headers
• re-compile
• Lather, Rinse, Repeat
