Hello, First, I would like to point out that I'm new to CMake, and I'm not a professional programer by any means - just a Physics research student. I looked for answers to my issue online, but couldn't find anything that helped me. I also asked my peers and friends, but unfortunately none of them could find an answer as well.
I want to use MySQL connector for C++ in a program. Usually I do this by using the 'mysql' and 'my_global' libraries, and then run gcc with this added flag: `mysql_config --cflags --libs`. Typing this command into my console results in: $mysql_config --cflags --libs -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -DNDEBUG -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lz -lm -ldl meaning there are some linking flags that must be given so gcc would compile my code, apart from just "-lmysql" or "-l/usr/include/mysql". My question is how do I ensure this works also with CMake? I understand how to use the CMakeLists.txt file to configure additional external libraries, but none of them require special flags as above, at least in my basic use of them. Since there's no module for MySQL connector, I'm a bit lost here. Could anyone please give me a some advices, or point me to what should be done?
