Re: Static linking to Connector/C++ on linux giving errors

Using 18.04

root@1a1ec5e05ed6:~# g++ main.cc -o test -I /usr/include/mysql-cppconn-8/ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlcppconn8-static.a -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -lresolv
root@1a1ec5e05ed6:~# g++ main.cc -o test -I /usr/include/mysql-cppconn-8/ -lmysqlcppconn8 -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread -lresolv
root@1a1ec5e05ed6:~# dpkg -l | grep mysql
ii libmysqlcppconn-dev:amd64 8.0.19-1ubuntu18.04 amd64 Development header files and libraries for MySQL C++ client applications
ii libmysqlcppconn7:amd64 8.0.19-1ubuntu18.04 amd64 MySQL Driver for C++ which mimics the JDBC 4.0 API
ii libmysqlcppconn8-2:amd64 8.0.19-1ubuntu18.04 amd64 MySQL database connector for C++


So something is fishy there.. can you please check if you have the same mysql packages?
