I have a question regarding compiling a C program with the mysql C api.From the documentation, the only way I really see explained for compilingis a shell script that looks like this:
CFG=/usr/bin/mysql_config sh -c "gcc -o $1 `$CFG --cflags` $1.c `$CFG --libs`"
This works great when all my source code is in one file. However, I need to modularize things and do separate compile and link steps. When I do this,
sh -c "gcc -o $1 `$CFG --cflags` $1.c"
It complains that it cannot find the header file for mysql.h. This does not make sense to me. Also, I do not understand why I need to do the sh -c. Why can I not just do the gcc part here?
I really want to build a makefile but I am just trying to take baby steps here (I am new to Linux programming).

Grab the PDF of Chapter 6 and read pp 321 - 324. That may help you.
Thanks. Andrew
