NAME
mysql_config - display options for compiling clients
SYNOPSIS
mysql_config options
DESCRIPTION
mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL. It is a shell script, so it is available only on Unix and Unix-like systems.
Note
pkg-config can be used as an alternative to mysql_config for obtaining information such as compiler flags or link libraries required to compile MySQL applications. For more information, see Building C API Client Programs Using pkg-config[1].
mysql_config supports the following options.
If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all options that it supports, and their values:
$> mysql_config Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options] Options: --cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro] --cxxflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro] --include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql] --libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl] --libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl] --plugindir [/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin] --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock] --port [3306] --version [5.8.0-m17] --variable=VAR VAR is one of: pkgincludedir [/usr/local/mysql/include] pkglibdir [/usr/local/mysql/lib] plugindir [/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin]
You can use mysql_config within a command line using backticks to include the output that it produces for particular options. For example, to compile and link a MySQL client program, use mysql_config as follows:
gcc -c `mysql_config --cflags` progname.c gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
