MySQL Connector C++ "linker" error.

[realchamp]

Hello guys. Been working this for some time now, but I'm getting more and more confused.

When I use the MingW compiler on Windows, to compile my program:

#include <iostream>

#include <mysql_connection.h>
#include <mysql_driver.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
sql::mysql::MySQL_Driver *driver;
sql::Connection	*con;

driver = sql::mysql::get_mysql_driver_instance();

con = driver->connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3306", "root", " ");
cout << "connection OK";
cin.get();

delete con;

}

Using the following command:

g++ hw.cpp -o hw.exe

I get the following error:

C:\Users\kk\AppData\Local\Temp\ccRrhIs3.o:hw.cpp:(.text+0x7): undefined referen
ce to `_imp___ZN3sql5mysql19get_driver_instanceEv'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I did a few attempts on how to link a libary, but it didn't work.
