So since Saturday I am trying to setup MySQL Connector C++ with VS2012. I'll leave it without commentary that I had to download 1xx mb Boost libs just to run simple query from my program lol. Nevertheless it doesn't work.
The problem is that even when I setup everything correctly (following MySQL Connector Manual from official site) it just can't work - because the latest package that I downloaded does not contains files listed in manual. Manual states:
Add the lib/opt directory into the Additional Library Directories text field. This enables the library file libmysql.lib to be found.
But there is no libmysql.lib and/or libmysql.dll.
When building I receive obvious error: error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libmysql.lib'
