Re: C++ connector DLL built but cannot CMake testapps

[Filip Leze]

Thanks to your help Bjorn:
- I can build the connector DLL
- I can CMake the testapp

but now building the testapp (X DevAPI test) returns an error:

--------------------------------------
$ cmake --build .
[ 50%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/devapi_test.dir/devapi_test.cc.obj
[100%] Linking CXX executable run/devapi_test.exe
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/11.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: CMakeFiles/devapi_test.dir/objects.a(devapi_test.cc.obj):devapi_test.cc:(.text+0x930): undefined reference to `mysqlx::abi2::r0::DbDoc::begin()'
--------------------------------------


When I see:
undefined reference to `mysqlx::abi2


This seems to be related to the ABI version, therefore I tried to build the connector following recommendation of some posts, adding to the CMake:


add_definitions(-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0)


With that modification the build of the connector fails at the end:

----------------------------------------

To recap so far:
- I can build the connector DLL but I cannot build the testapp (undefined reference to `mysqlx::abi2).

- I have the following CMake to build the connector successfully:

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/Filip/MySQL_CONNCPP_INSTALL -DWITH_SSL=/mingw64/bin -DWITH_BOOST=/mingw64/bin -DBOOST_ROOT=/mingw64/bin -G "MSYS Makefiles"

- I have the following CMake for the testapp:

cmake -DWITH_SSL=/mingw64/bin -DWITH_BOOST=/mingw64/bin -DBOOST_ROOT=/mingw64/bin -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DWITH_CONCPP=/home/Filip/MySQL_CONNCPP_INSTALL .

This CMake goes well and returns:
