I need to indicate Djgpp where a library i need to include is, but, after many tries, it's not able to find it. Here what i've tried ( the library i need is in the c:\mysql\lib\debug\ directory and is called mysqlclient.lib) gcc -o test.exe test.c -L c:\mysql\lib\debug - l mysqlclient.lib I think it's because i'm wrong with the directory format, if you could help, it would be great. Thanks in advance Samidee
