mysql_config − get compile options for compiling clients
mysql_config options |
mysql_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.
