Here are all different errors:

error: 'MYSQL' {aka 'struct st_mysql'} has no member named 'reconnect'

   This is not a bug. MYSQL.reconnect was not part of the API, even in 5.5
   https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/c-api-auto-reconnect.html

error: 'MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION' undeclared

  this looks like a bug. MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION is documented here:
  https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/c-api-server-client-versions.html

error: 'MYSQL_PORT' undeclared here

  I couldn't find it documented, but I think it should be fixed too

fatal error: mysql/mysql_time.h: No such file or directory

  this doesn't seem to be a part of the API,
  one should only include mysql.h
