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           Note
17           pkg-config can be used as an alternative to mysql_config for
18           obtaining information such as compiler flags or link libraries
19           required to compile MySQL applications. For more information, see
20           Section 28.7.3.2, “Building C API Client Programs Using pkg-
21           config”.
22
23       mysql_config supports the following options.
24
25       ·   --cflags
26
27           C Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags
28           and defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library. The
29           options returned are tied to the specific compiler that was used
30           when the library was created and might clash with the settings for
31           your own compiler. Use --include for more portable options that
32           contain only include paths.
33
34       ·   --cxxflags
35
36           Like --cflags, but for C++ compiler flags.
37
38       ·   --include
39
40           Compiler options to find MySQL include files.
41
42       ·   --libs
43
44           Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client
45           library.
46
47       ·   --libs_r
48
49           Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL
50           client library. In MySQL 8.0, all client libraries are thread-safe,
51           so this option need not be used. The --libs option can be used in
52           all cases.
53
54       ·   --plugindir
55
56           The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring
57           MySQL.
58
59       ·   --port
60
61           The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.
62
63       ·   --socket
64
65           The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.
66
67       ·   --variable=var_name
68
69           Display the value of the named configuration variable. Permitted
70           var_name values are pkgincludedir (the header file directory),
71           pkglibdir (the library directory), and plugindir (the plugin
72           directory).
73
74       ·   --version
75
76           Version number for the MySQL distribution.
77
78       If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all
79       options that it supports, and their values:
80
81           shell> mysql_config
82           Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
83           Options:
84             --cflags         [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
85             --cxxflags       [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
86             --include        [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
87             --libs           [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
88                               -lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl]
89             --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
90                               -lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl]
91             --plugindir      [/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin]
92             --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
93             --port           [3306]
94             --version        [5.8.0-m17]
95             --variable=VAR   VAR is one of:
96                     pkgincludedir [/usr/local/mysql/include]
97                     pkglibdir     [/usr/local/mysql/lib]
98                     plugindir     [/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin]
99
100       You can use mysql_config within a command line using backticks to
101       include the output that it produces for particular options. For
102       example, to compile and link a MySQL client program, use mysql_config
103       as follows:
104
105           gcc -c `mysql_config --cflags` progname.c
106           gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
