Correct way to compile myodbc connector 8.0.19

[Anand Subramanian]

Hi All,

Can someone please point me to the right way to compile the 8.0.19 connector, if I am to use my own compiled version of libmysqlclient.so

One thing I see, is that if I go to a build dir (say $HOME/build) and try to run cmake to point to the myodbc connector source dir, it does not build it in the build directory, but builds in the connector source dir itself.

Anyways, I cd into the source dir and try the following which works but it still fails in make as it cannot build libmysqlclient. I don't want to build libmysqlclient rather want it to be used from the supplied dir.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/dir1 -DWITH_UNIXODBC=1 -DODBC_PATH=/usr/local/odbc -DODBC_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/odbc/lib -DODBC_INCLUDES=/usr/local/odbc/include -DDISABLE_GUI=1 -DMYSQL_LIB_DIR=/home/as/build-nosemantic/runtime_output_directory -DMYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/as/temp/tmp/usr/include/mysql -DMYSQLCLIENT_STATIC_LINKING:BOOL=false -DMYSQL_CLIENT_LIBS=libmysqlclient.so -DMYSQL_LIB=/home/as/build-nosemantic/runtime_output_directory -DMYSQL_CLIENT_LIBS=-lmysqlclient

Regards
Anand
