#include <mysql.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("MySQL client version: %s\n", mysql_get_client_info());
}
~$ gcc -o mysql-test MySQL-Test.c
im trying to execute this test program from terminal but get the following error message:
/tmp/cceEmI0I.o: In function main': MySQL-Test.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to
mysql_get_client_info'
what is wrong? my system is ubuntu
MySQL
comes with a special script called mysql_config
. It provides you with useful information for compiling your MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL database server.
Pass --libs
option - Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client library.
$ mysql_config --libs
Typical Output:
-L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib64 -lssl -lcrypto
Now you can add this to your compile/link line:
gcc -o mysql-test MySQL-Test.c $(mysql_config --libs)
