Thanks for the hint on the format of the download pages. The download pages somewhat follow the standard MySQL templates. There's pretty exhaustive information on VS version stuff at http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Connector_C%2B%2B and http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Connector_C%2B%2B_Binary_Builds . That's also noted at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-cpp-installation-binary.html .

I think the requested information is given although "tools" != "Visual Studio". And that's because we really mean tools in order to make cleat that its relevant not only for Windows. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/ All distributions of Connector/C++ contain a README file, which contains platform-specific notes. At the end of the README file contained in the binary distribution you will find the settings used to build the binaries. If you experience build-related issues on a platform, it may help to check the settings used on the platform to build the binary. A better solution is to build your MySQL Connector/C++ libraries from the source code, using the same tools that you use for building your application. This ensures compatibility. One problem that can occur is when the tools you use to build your application are not compatible with the tools used to build the binary versions of MySQL Connector/C++. Ideally, you need to build your application with the same tools that were used to build the MySQL Connector/C++ binaries.

Posted by developer: Package names have been updated in never versions. On Windows they look now like this: mysql-connector-c++-noinstall-1.1.7-win32.{zip,msi} mysql-connector-c++-noinstall-1.1.7-winx64.{zip,msi} There are no VS-specific packages any more. The only remaining concern is no -src suffix for source packages. I will check if there are any obstacles to changing this.
