It's not an open-source project as we would know it.  It's actually a  
world of warcraft mod that requires and .exe to parse some log  
files.  It's written in C, and I've moved the mysql sources/includes  
into a location that my compiler can find, I think.  It looks to me  
like most things are working, should I install mysql on my laptop?

Thanks for the help.
