Error when compiling the driver for MYSQL for QT - c++

Question

I am trying to build the MYSQL driver for QT so I can include it in my projects. I am using QT 5.5.1, MYSQL 5.7, and MinGW 4.9.2 32 bit. I open the ".pro" file from the driver source code in the QT Creator and add INCLUDEPATH += C:/Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/include and
QMAKE_LIBDIR += C:/Program Files (x86)/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/lib/libmysql.lib to the project file and attempt to build. I get one error in response.
This is the error:
error: mysql.append(\lib\libmysql.lib): No such file or directory
This is the compiler output:
g++ -Wl,-s -shared -Wl,-subsystem,windows
