NAME

6       mysql_config - get compile 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.
14
15       mysql_config supports the following options.
16
17       ·   --cflags
18
19           Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags
20           and defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library. The
21           options returned are tied to the specific compiler that was used
22           when the library was created and might clash with the settings for
23           your own compiler. Use --include for more portable options that
24           contain only include paths.
25
26       ·   --include
27
28           Compiler options to find MySQL include files.
29
30       ·   --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
31
32           Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded
33           server.
34
35       ·   --libs
36
37           Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client
38           library.
39
40       ·   --libs_r
41
42           Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL
43           client library.
44
45       ·   --plugindir
46
47           The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring
48           MySQL. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.24.
49
50       ·   --port
51
52           The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.
53
54       ·   --socket
55
56           The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.
57
58       ·   --version
59
60           Version number for the MySQL distribution.
61
62       If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all
63       options that it supports, and their values:
64
65           shell> mysql_config
66           Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
67           Options:
68             --cflags         [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
69             --include        [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
70             --libs           [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
71                               -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
72             --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
73                               -lpthread -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
74             --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
75             --port           [3306]
76             --version        [4.0.16]
77             --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lpthread -lz
78                               -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
79
80       You can use mysql_config within a command line to include the value
81       that it displays for a particular option. For example, to compile a
82       MySQL client program, use mysql_config as follows:
83
84           shell> CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
85           shell> sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --include` progname.c `$CFG --libs`"
86
87       When you use mysql_config this way, be sure to invoke it within
88       backtick (“`”) characters. That tells the shell to execute it and
89       substitute its output into the surrounding command.
