I'm trying to compile MySQL Connector C++ on Windows / Visual Studio 2015. I generated the project file using CMake according to the official instructions, which worked fine. Now when I try to compile the solution,I get the following linker errors:

In case you dont want to count: Theres 64 of them. I noticed, that I had installed the 64bit Version of the C++ Connector Source and the 32 bit Version of the C Connector, so I installed the C Connector 64bits and the linker errors exactly doubled (128).
So I deinstalled both and installed the 32 bit version of both, only to return to the errors you see above.
I know there are a bunch of questions out there by people, who have the same problem, but I either was not able to find one that could help me or there is none.
If you can point me towards a fix, that'd be great.
Thanks for your time
After days of searching and testing, I have found the problem. I am surprised to see that this is going on since 2017 or even earlier.
The Problem:
Documentation on the MySQL website is confusing, outdated and useless.
If you are downloading the latest mysql-connector-c++-8.0.13-winx64.zip, you will find the library mysqlcppconn-static.lib which is 64+ MB. You can use this in your project BUT, you will need the .dll as well, and this is built in Release version only.
If you want to compile your own connector, you can do so if you have the "right" commands only. You can build STATIC DEBUG versions of x64 to work in your application and no .dll is required.
However you will encounter the above error as per the OP posted. The problem is that you need to manually link mysqlclient.lib. Where to find it ? Because in their downloads page they say: "Windows: The Client Utilities Package is available from the Windows Installer." which is false. There is no such thing.
What you must do is go to: MySQL Connector/C (Archived Versions) and download mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-winx64-debug.zip. Once you have this, you can just link these in your project:
And your project will compile and work fine under Debug x64 and VS2017 (in my case).
More Problems:
Noticed where I mentioned that the mysqlcppconn-static.lib provided by Oracle has 64+MB ? The reason why I said that is because when you/we build our own mysql connector, the library will have around 16 MB only.
Yes, Oracle somehow link everything in 1 lib. However it's useless because it's in Release and build with Multi-threaded DLL (/MD), so if you are working on your application in Debug mode it will not compile OR you won't be able to debug anything.
Even More Problems:
Now we I found out how to build this MySQL Connector under x64 and DEBUG, it's still only working under Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd). So basically you cannot build this/your app under /MT or /MTd.
Steps to build current MySQL Connector ( JDBC as they call it ):
Run this command ( assuming you want the STATIC DEBUG ):
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_STATIC=true -DBUNDLE_DEPENDENCIES=ON -DSTATIC_MSVCRT=OFF -DWITH_JDBC=ON
Once done, go via explorer in mysql-connector-cpp-master\jdbc and you will see MYSQLCPPCONN.sln
From there just build the solution, and you will find the lib in mysql-connector-cpp-master\jdbc\driver\Debug
That would be all for now, I hope my efforts to solve this "mystery" will help someone. And I sincerely hope that Oracle developers will wake up and create solutions properly and documentation because we are in 2019.
I assume you meant CMake successfully generated the project but the project doesn't compile correctly.
Have you checked which binaries are currently linked against the failing project? If not, I suggest right clicking on the project from the solution explorer -> Properties -> Linker.
In case CMake cached certain directories that contain the required binaries, go to CMake -> File tab -> Delete cache, and regenerate the project.
One more thing I can think of is checking the environment variables that contain the MySQL binaries path. If something has changed to you environment variables, you might need to rerun CMake, clear its cache and regenerate the project.
If you are certain the binaries are being linked, there might be certain macros that enable static linking. I cannot remember if it is the case with MySQL connector, but it's just another thing that came to mind.
