Borland C++
-----------

You can compile the MySQL Windows source with Borland C++ 5.02.  (The
Windows source includes only projects for Microsoft VC++, for Borland
C++ you have to do the project files yourself).

One known problem with Borland C++ is that it uses a different structure
alignment than VC++.  This means that you will run into problems if you
try to use the default `libmysql.dll' libraries (that was compiled with
VC++) with Borland C++. You can do one of the following to avoid this
problem.

   * You can use the static MySQL libraries for Borland C++ that you
     can find on `http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-win32.html'.

   * Only call `mysql_init()' with `NULL' as an argument, not a
     pre-allocated MYSQL struct.
