To install Connector/Net on Unix/Mono:
1. Download the
directory of your choice, for example: ~/connector-net/.
2. In the directory where you unzipped the connector to, change into the
file
MySql.Data.dll
3. You must register the Connector/Net component, MySql.Data, in the Global Assembly Cache
(GAC). In the current directory enter the
root-shell> gacutil /i MySql.Data.dll
This will register
lib/mono/gac, where you will find
You are now ready to compile your application. You must ensure that when you compile your
application you include the Connector/Net component using the
example:
shell> gmcs -r:System.dll -r:System.Data.dll -r:MySql.Data.dll HelloWorld.cs
Note, the assemblies that are referenced depend on the requirements of the application, but
applications using Connector/Net must provide
You can further check your installation by running the compiled program, for example:
shell> mono HelloWorld.exe

and installing Bazaar on the different platforms are available on the Bazaar Web site.
The most recent development source tree is available from our public Subversion trees at
dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/sources.html.
To check out out the Connector/Net sources, change to the directory where you want the copy of the
Connector/Net tree to be stored, then use the following command:
shell> bzr branch lp:connectornet/trunk
To download a specific version of Connector/Net, specify the version number instead of trunk. For
example, to obtain a copy of the 6.0 version of the source tree:
shell> bzr branch lp:connectornet/6.0
Source packages are also available on the downloads page.
Building the Source Code on Windows
The following procedure can be used to build the connector on Microsoft Windows.
