A dll is a Dynamic Link Library.  The nature of which is you can't link
it statically.  Unless you have a static form of the libmysql library,
you cannot do what you wish to do.

Thanks for your answer,

But can't the dll be transformed to an import library. I tried something
with implib to generate lib files of these dll's and i added them to the
project but they arent't included in my exe however.

I am pretty new to C++ and Borland so i might say stupid thing over time.

Regards,

Marcel

Without the import library you wouldn't even have been able to link your 
application because the symbols would not have been found. When loading 
the application in memory, the import library searches for the DLL to 
load the actual functions, the import library is just a 'stub'.
