You shouldn't have had to do that.  I presume you're talking about the 
MySQL C API header files.  The project files are shipped with the 
assumption that they are in a standard location, and the right version. 
  If they aren't, you should either (re)install the right version in the 
expected location, or change the include path within the project to 
point to the right location.

This is all detailed in README.vc.

That won't cause a build failure, it would cause a run-time failure.

It's clear you haven't read README.vc.
