FBMYSQL_CONFIGFR(1)


NAME

  mysql_config - get compile options for compiling clients


SYNOPSIS

  mysql_config options


DESCRIPTION

  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.
