NAME

6       mysql_config - display options for compiling clients
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mysql_config options
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your
13       MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL. It is a shell script, so it is
14       available only on Unix and Unix-like systems.
15
16       mysql_config supports the following options.
17
18       ·   --cflags
19
20           Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags
21           and defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library. The
22           options returned are tied to the specific compiler that was used
23           when the library was created and might clash with the settings for
24           your own compiler. Use --include for more portable options that
25           contain only include paths.
26
27       ·   --include
28
29           Compiler options to find MySQL include files.
30
31       ·   --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
32
33           Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded
34           server.
35
36       ·   --libs
37
38           Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client
39           library.
40
41       ·   --libs_r
42
43           Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL
44           client library.
45
46       ·   --plugindir
47
48           The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring
49           MySQL. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.24.
50
51       ·   --port
52
53           The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.
54
55       ·   --socket
56
57           The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.
58
59       ·   --version
60
61           Version number for the MySQL distribution.
62
63       If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all
64       options that it supports, and their values:
65
66           shell> mysql_config
67           Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
68           Options:
69             --cflags         [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
70             --include        [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
71             --libs           [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
72                               -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm]
73             --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
74                               -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
75             --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
76             --port           [3306]
77             --version        [5.1.69]
78             --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -ldl
79                               -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
80
81       You can use mysql_config within a command line using backticks to
82       include the output that it produces for a particular option. For
83       example, to compile and link a MySQL client program, use mysql_config
84       as follows:
85
86           shell> gcc -c `mysql_config --cflags` progname.c
87           shell> gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
