[Qt-interest] configuring Qt with MySQL

[Ashish Singh]

Hi Vincent, My mistake..what I wanted to say was that ' libmysql.dll' is in
the same location as '..MySQLServer5.1/lib/opt'. Actually both
'libmysql.lib' and 'libmysql.dll' are at the same location.

Isn't there a way to have this automatically taken care of instead of
copying the 'libmysql.dll' in the executable directory everytime?

Thanks,
Ashish
