MYSQL_CONFIG(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_CONFIG(1)NAMEmysql_config - get compile options for compiling clients
SYNOPSISmysql_config options
DESCRIPTIONmysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your
MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL.
mysql_config supports the following options:
· --cflags
Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags and
defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library.
· --include
Compiler options to find MySQL include files. (Note that normally
you would use --cflags instead of this option.)
· --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded
server.
· --libs
Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client
library.
· --libs_r
Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL
client library.
· --port
The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.
· --socket
The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.
· --version
Version number for the MySQL distribution.
If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all
options that it supports, and their values:
shell> mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
-lpthread -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [4.0.16]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lpthread -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
You can use mysql_config within a command line to include the value
that it displays for a particular option. For example, to compile a
MySQL client program, use mysql_config as follows:
shell> CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
shell> sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --cflags` progname.c `$CFG --libs`"
When you use mysql_config this way, be sure to invoke it within
backtick (‘`’) characters. That tells the shell to execute it and
substitute its output into the surrounding command.
