If you compile MySQL clients that you've written yourself or that
you obtain from a third-party, they must be linked using the
-lmysqlclient -lz
option on the link command. You may also need to
specify a -L
option to tell the linker where to find the library. For
example, if the library is installed in `/usr/local/mysql/lib', use
-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz
on the link command.
For clients that use MySQL header files, you may need to specify a
-I
option when you compile them (for example,
-I/usr/local/mysql/include
), so the compiler can find the header
files.
To make the above simpler on Unix we have provided the
mysql_config
script for you. See section mysql_config
.
You can use this to compile a MySQL client by as follows:
CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --cflags` progname.c `$CFG --libs`" |
The sh -c
is need to get the shell to not threat the output from
mysql_config
as one word.
