Comments - Install instructions

Would it be possible to provide more information of what you're trying to do?

E.g "I installed MariaDB (using MSI distribtion) and I'm trying to write a client application that is using MySQL C API to connect to local MariaDB server. I need to provide path for header files and libraries in Code::Blocks IDE".. Is this description accurate?I could have completely misunderstood the problem.

Sorry. Actualy the question was where to put the files but I got it now.

Ok, it is scary how accurate your guess was, (for another question that came up)!

So, I installed MariaDB (msi version). I'm trying to write a client program that is using MariaDB Client Library for C 1.0 to connect to a local mariaDB server. In Code::Blocks 12.11 I have provided a path for header and libraries through "Settings->Compiler..->Search directories->compiler respectively linker tab".

Also the path to the .lib files through "Project->Build Option...". Still I get an error message when building that says:
