"You should look through the Windows-specific section of
lib\platform.h to see if there are any #defines that you need
to uncomment on your system."

And then in platform.h:

     // Uncomment this if you are using MySQL 4.1.3 or higher, or 5.0.1
     // or higher.
//# define HAVE_MYSQL_SHUTDOWN_LEVEL_ARG

The library should be unpacked into the mysql++ directory itself, not 
having a mysql++-1.7.21 subdirectory.
