Hi all,
I just started learning mySQL yesterday. I'm using it for a web application
(simple CGI stuff).
To begin, I wrote a simple program that just initializes a mySQL connection
and then closes it.
Here's my problem:
I'm getting compile errors when I link the libmysqlclient.a archive to my
program.
The compiler reports these errors:
Undefined symbol first referenced in file
socket ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
gethostbyname ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
setsockopt ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
getservbyname ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
floor ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(password.o)
getsockopt ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
inet_addr ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
shutdown ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
connect ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a(libmysql.o)
I'm compiling using gcc as such:
gcc test.c -o test.cgi ../mySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.a
If I remove the archive, it complains about missing definitions for the two
functions I use: init & close.
All the complaints seem like simple functions or types that are defined in
the system. ie. floor is defined in math.h
I assume there are references to these functions or types in the archive
that cannot be resolved (lack of header file).
If this is the case, where do I include the appropriate header files? It
seems I shouldn't have to do this in my source.
I'm compiling on a Solaris 7 machine w/ dual Compaq Alphas.
I'll be glad when someone points out my ignorance.
Puzzled,
-Nick G.
