Building the client oflibmysqlclient on Windows with MSVC

ALL,
Does anyone succeeds building a client to libmysqlclient on Windows?
Following this instructions I can build the library itself
But then trying to follow mySQL documentaton which reads
To specify header and library file locations, use the facilities provided by your development environment.
With the old mySQL-Connector-C I was able to download just the code for the connector build it and then it had only 1 mysql.h
With the new library (8.0) I have t get the whole package, and there fore it will have multiple copies of mysql.h (yes, I did check by dong search of the file from Windows Explorer and Terminal/Bash).
In terms of library - it is easy as it will be hopefully just one and I can sue -L option for the linker.
But how do I get the proper include folder?
TIA!!
BTW, the tag here needs t be changed - it is not called connector-c anymore

How to place text on image with nodejs without use of third-party libraries

Please explain, how can I add some text to the image with nodejs. I googled all day but didn't find a solution other than using libraries. Why is this done in php with one line of code, but with nodejs you need bunch of third-party code to be imported to your server? Thank you.

Building a nodejs addon without modifying C library

I have searched a lot here about the steps to create a add-on for a C library. I see there are plenty of tutorials online on how to build a add-on using the node-gyp. All of them involved creating a .cc file which is built by the node-gyp. Is there a way to build .c files directly as well. I do have a custom c library (.c, .h and also a compiled .dll for the same files). Is there a way to directly use the functions from the custom library without making any modifications to the source files? Most of the examples online have the v8 and uv header files included in it. The C library I have is a more generic and cannot be modified by me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did try to use node-ffi but it doesnt seem to be working with the newer versions of node-js.
Thanks,

Hazelcast C++ Client

I'm trying using hazelcast-3.6 with hazelcast-cpp-client-3.6.
I downloaded both packages and created an empty C++ application which currently just includes HazelcastAll.h.
During build I get errors for missing files which indeed are missing from downloaded official c++ client (i.e. MapExecuteOnKeyCodec.h).
Did anyone encounter such issue?
Thanks.
Some required files are in hazelcast\generated-sources\. E.g. MapExecuteOnKeyCodec.h is in hazelcast\generated-sources\include\hazelcast\client\protocol\codec. You have to add hazelcast\generated-sources\include\ to the additional include directories.

How do I configuring cURL so that I can actually use it?

I'm a beginner I am using using Microsoft Visual C++. I need a step by step walkthrough from downloading up till actually using libcurl if anyone can help? I don't know much terminology though.
Everyone seems to skip all that and goes straight into putting #include in their files but I don't know how to get to that step.
I know I have to tell Visual C++ that I'm using another library but how do I do that? How do I configure this library and include the directories?
Any help is very welcome!
they have a .pdf explaining step by step how to build a project with libcurl, here is the link
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/visual_studio.pdf
hope that helps
