Hi Jordan,
I define some automake substition variables in configure.ac as part
of the checks for MySQL:
# Look for mysql via the presence of 'mysql_config' or 'mysql_config5'
#
AC_PATH_PROGS([TOOL_MYSQL_CONFIG], [mysql_config mysql_config5], [],
[$PATH:/opt/local/bin])
AS_IF([test -n "$TOOL_MYSQL_CONFIG"],
[MYSQL_CFLAGS=`$TOOL_MYSQL_CONFIG --cflags`
MYSQL_LIBS=`$TOOL_MYSQL_CONFIG --libs_r`
MYSQL_VERSION=`$TOOL_MYSQL_CONFIG --version`],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([missing program 'mysql_config'; is 'mysql' or
'MySQL-devel' installed?])])
WANT_MYSQL_VERSION=5.1.55
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for mysql >= $WANT_MYSQL_VERSION])
AS_VERSION_COMPARE([$MYSQL_VERSION], [$WANT_MYSQL_VERSION],
[AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
AC_MSG_FAILURE([mysql $MYSQL_VERSION is too old, need
$WANT_MYSQL_VERSION])])
AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
AC_SUBST([MYSQL_CFLAGS])
AC_SUBST([MYSQL_LIBS])
AC_PATH_PROGS([TOOL_MYSQL], [mysql mysql5], [],
[$PATH:/opt/local/bin])
AS_IF([test -n "$TOOL_MYSQL"],
[:],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([missing program 'mysql'; is 'mysql' or
'MySQL-client-community' installed?])])
I then use these in the Makefile.am as:
prog_CPPFLAGS += $(MYSQL_CFLAGS)
prog_LDADD += $(MYSQL_LIBS)
(As an aside, you probably don't want includes and cflags in LDFLAGS)
I don't bother with `mysql_config --include`
Feel free to reuse those snippets as you like.
I hope that's useful.
Regards,
Luke.
