Building the mysql++ Library Using MinGW

[Matthew Shea]

I am coding C++ in Dev-C++ using the MinGW compiler running on Windows Vista. I am
attempting to build the library as described in README.mingw, and I am at the 
 
 Building the Library and Example Programs 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
  Now you can build MySQL++ with this command: 
   
   mingw32-make -f Makefile.mingw 
 
 Upon running the command  
 D:\MinGW\bin>mingw32-make -f c:\mysql++\Makefile.mingw 
 
 I receive the error: 
 mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `lib/coldata.cpp', needed by `mysqlpp_c 
 oldata.o'.  Stop. 
 
 How do I fix this? 
 
 
 And better yet, why do I have the build this in the first place?
