Re: Running MYSQL++ on OS X in Xcode

[John Zandbergen]

Hi,
If I read the message correct LD tries to link your files using a shared library, but libmysqlclient.a is not a shared library file. I'm not sure, but I think the linker needs some extra flag.

Did you run the mysql_config command and did you use the [--libs] in your linking command? Do not change the order of the -l options, that could lead to problems.

my mysql_config output:
$ ./mysql_config
Usage: ./mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include -fno-omit-frame-pointer]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lm -lz]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lm -lz]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [4.1.9]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqld -lm -lm -lz]
$ ./mysql_config --libs
-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lm -lz

HTH
