Answer 1

This is for Linux environments only:

In "Project build options" > "Linker settings" Tab > Under "Other linker options" add -lmysqlclient

You will also need to add mysql-connector-c-6.1.3-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/include/ in "Search directories" > "Compiler"

You will also need to add mysql-connector-c-6.1.3-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/lib/ in "Search directories" > "Linker"

For windows:

-lmysql
