Ruben, there is no question in my mind that "I don't have to do that." I'm sure I could dink around for some period ranging from an hour to a couple days. I'm just paying attention to the author's caveat:
Quote:
If you're building on Windows with Visual C++, you can install
the native Win32 port of MySQL from mysql.com. You should do
a custom install, as the MySQL++ build system expects MySQL to
be installed in c:\mysql, and not the directory-du-jour used
by the changing installer versions.

At that point, I ceased to investigate further. While you may be entirely correct, neither your installation nor the OP's is working.
