Installing MySQL Module on Windows?

[Christopher Aldridge]

All, I'm having a very tuff time getting this mysql module working on
XP. All searches yeild how to's that were last updated in 2003, or
linux only environments.

Anyone here know an exact method of getting this working?

(note, I've tried non 2.7-beta2 versions of this module and other
versions of mysql to no avail)

C:\mysql-ruby-2.7-beta2>extconf.rb
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in m.lib... yes
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in z.lib... no

C:\mysql-ruby-2.7-beta2>mysql --version

MySQL-specific setup to get that to work with MySQL. That's what I use now.

I briefly read into ActiveRecord and do not think it will suffice
given my scenerio.

As of now, I'm doing inserts into MySQL by using system("mysql -u x -p
x db -e "insert into asdf values ${asfd})

I just feel that this is hacky.. I even looked into odbc but that's
only usable w/ this mysql module :-\
