Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I've got XCode 4.2, and MAMP
server. With XCode and have been trying to develop a C++ application to
generate SQL commands to retrieve information from my MySQL database in
the MAMP database.

I wanted to download the Mysql C++ connector (extract tar file
mysql-connector-c++-1.0.5-osx10.5-x86-64bit) but the tutorials say I
need to download the Mysql C Connector (tar file
mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit) because it needs the API
first is that right?

shown here-
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-installation-source.html


Anyway after downloading it onto this directory

/Users/inhcheung/Documents/

hence

/Users/inhcheung/Documents/mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit 2

I followed the instructions on this page

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-c-building.html

it tells me that for building this downloaded library i need to type
this on my terminal

shell> cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"

which meant i had to download cmake. But after downloading cmake with
command line capabilities, and i typed this command within that
directory it came up with the error that CMakelists.txt was not found.

My solution was to create a file called 'CMakelists.txt'. I was able to
run this command again with these results logged:

Ivans-MacBook-Pro:mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit 2 inhcheung$
touch CMakeLists.txt
Ivans-MacBook-Pro:mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit 2 inhcheung$
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"

-- Build files have been written to:
/Users/inhcheung/Documents/mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit 2

I could see that cmake files have been placed on /usr/local as described
in the tutorial.

Now I assume that the mysql C connector has now been built. The next
stage of the tutorial is to install it, which is to type this in the
root shell:

root-shell> make install

I don't know what the root shell is relative to the terminal that I'm
already using, so I assume I just type it out anyway, but the result I
got was not what I expected:

Ivans-MacBook-Pro:mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit 2 inhcheung$
make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop

what could be causing this? am I in the correct directory? assuming that
the tutorial wants me to be in the 'MySQL Connector/C source directory'
but I'm not sure where that is. Bear in mind I'm still in where the tar
file was being extracted:

/Users/inhcheung/Documents/mysql-connector-c-6.0.2-osx10.5-x86-64bit 2

I've been stuck on trying to install this connector for a few days so I
really would like some help on this!


Many thanks!

Kind Regards

Ivan Cheung
