I have tried that, but no client applications can connect to the windows
version of the server, instead they die with
"ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"

I think i need to link them with the import library for the windows version
of the server, but then i get undefined references to loads of functions
defined in libmysqlclient.a but not in libmySQL.dll, such as the mysql
striing functions and many of the 'mysys' functions.

How have you resolved this?

TIA,
Terry
