mysql client problem

[Paul Cox]

Hello,

I've been trying to get a c program to connect to a mysql database on my
network.  I compile in cygwin (on my NT box) and include the library
libmysqlclient.a and the header file mysql.h.  At first it didn't link
because I got these files from a Linux box, but then I downloaded these
files from the cygtools site.  Now it links, but I think the library
isn't working for some reason because my program locks at the call to
mysql_init().  I've tried compiling this library on my machine, but the
mysql source doesn't compile in cygwin.  If my problem is a bad library,
do you know where I can get the correct library or how to compile the
mysql client source in cygwin?  Thanks for your help,
