libmysql and mingw

[Daniel Boyd]

I have been trying with no success to use libmysql in Windows.

In my latest attempt, I downloaded this file:
http://devpaks.org/details.php?devpak=105

In ProjectCenter, I added libmysql.a to my libraries.  Then, I added
the include directory in the project inspector.

Here is the relevant snippet of my GNUmakefile.preamble generated by
ProjectCenter:

# Additional include directories the compiler should search
ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS += -Ic:/GNUstep/libmysql-5.0.5-1sid/include

# Additional library directories the linker should search
ADDITIONAL_LIB_DIRS += -LC:/GNUstep/libmysql-5.0.5-1sid/lib

# Additional GUI libraries to link
ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS += -lmysql

Here are some of the errors I'm getting when I try to compile my
program:  (note, this source compiles in Linux)
