<div>Andrei,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've added your (offline) suggested change to the mysql.h to my version, and the wiki, and am currently stuck on the following problem:</div>
<div> </div>

<div> </div>
<div>I'm rebuilding the entire of QT to see if the mysql.h patch fixes the lack of "available drivers". :-(</div>
<div> </div>
<div>any other ideas that might be quicker? (QT's a hog to build)</div>

<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Should be there, otherwise everything seems to compile properly, but doesn't work (stdcall functions are called as cdecl, stack pointer does not get restored, you get almost immediate segfaults after a couple of mysql function calls, but not immediately in the mysql call itself). I spent hours trying to figure this out. I think this was also a problem of earlier Cygwin build attempts.

<p>Hi, mysql.h is attached! :-) Don't worry about editing the page at the same time as me/others, just try to keep an eye on the 'history' tab, and try not to edit the same section/s at the same time. :-)

<p>FYI to others - the missing 'pr' command under Win32 requires the optional/extra mingw/msys 'coreutils' package to be installed. I did this but forgot to document it, clearly Andrei did too. </p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>It's in the wiki now (step 3c).</p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>I've also added a new section to the bottom of the page "problems others have encountered" with 5 different issues others/I have encountered so far. </p></div>
<div>
<p> </p></div>
<div>
<p>Could all Win32 developer/wantabee's please add errors (and hopefully resolutions) there as you find them? thanks.</p></div>

<br>1. Download MINGW and select full install. Install DIR = D:\MinGW <br>2. Download MSYS and install to D:\msys\1.0\<br>3. Download updated bash and zlib. Extract into D:\msys\1.0<br>4. Install tortoise svn<br>5. Checkout mythtv from svn
<br>6. Download freetype and compile with ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install <br>7. Go to the mythtv directory and run</p></div>
<p> ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-dbox2 --disable-hdhomerun \<br> --disable-dvb --disable-ivtv --disable-iptv --disable-joystick-menu \<br> --disable-xvmc-vld --disable-x11 --disable-xvmc --enable-directx \ <br> --enable-memalign-hack --cpu=k8 --compile-type=debug
</p>
<p>When I first run this I get an error like "pr: command not found", so I download coreutils from the msys page and get pr.exe from there and place it in D:\msys\1.0\bin. I rerun the same command and then I get this error:
</p>
<p>ERROR! You must have FreeType installed to compile MythTV.<br>If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest<br>version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-dev@mythtv.org" target="_blank">
mythtv-dev@mythtv.org</a> mailing list or IRC #mythtv on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net/" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a><br>Include the log file "config.err" produced by configure as this will help <br>solving the problem
</p>
<p>My libs are in D:\msys\1.0\bin and the include files are in D:\msys\1.0\include. I have tried moving them to the D:\MinGW directory but that has not worked.</p>
<p>I have tried going through all of the steps in the Wiki but always come out with this er</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>
