Hello, I am using an EK-TM4C1294XL and I am trying to connect this board to a remote server in order to run HTTP requests, hopefully so I can download a certain table from my database into an ordinary table declared in C. Seeing as this is the first time working with this API, I started with a very simple code that should print out the version of the connector/C API that I have installed. I am using the GNU v4.8.4 (linario) compiler installed in the free version of CCS6.
OS system: Windows 10 64-bit
#include <my_global.h> #include <mysql.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("MySQL client version: %s\n", mysql_get_client_info()); exit(0); }
When I downloaded the zip version of the API, all I did was unzip into the directory I wanted. My first question before proceeding is how do I properly ensure that the API is installed? And do you think I should upgrade the GNU compiler, if so, how do i do this in CCS ? I will then continue to try and debug before asking further questions.
As you can tell I am a beginner so please keep responses as basic as possible, or even better, visual.
Thank you for any help in advance
Best Regards
Jean
