When linking against a static library for 1.0.3 on Windows,
define CPPDBC_PUBLIC_FUNC either in the
compiler options (preferable) or with /D
"CPPCONN_PUBLIC_FUNC=". You can also explicitly
define it in your code by placing #define
CPPCONN_PUBLIC_FUNC before the header inclusions.
Generally speaking, C++ library binaries are less portable than C library binaries. Issues can be caused by name mangling, different Standard Template Library (STL) versions, and using different compilers and linkers for linking against the libraries than were used for building the library itself.
Even a small change in the compiler version can cause problems. If you obtain error messages that you suspect are related to binary incompatibilities, build Connector/C++ from source, using the same compiler and linker that you use to build and link your application.
Due to variations between Linux distributions, compiler
versions, linker versions, and STL versions, it is not
possible to provide binaries for every possible configuration.
However, Connector/C++ binary distribution packages include a
BUILDINFO.txt file that describes the
environment and configuration options used to build the binary
versions of the connector libraries. (Prior to Connector/C++ 1.1.11,
check the README file instead.)
To avoid potential crashes, the build configuration of Connector/C++ should match the build configuration of the application using it. For example, do not use a release build of Connector/C++ with a debug build of the client application.
