Dear Mysqlers mysql_config in the linux binary distro appears to have two similar bugs ... When run it returns: Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS] Options: --cflags [-I'/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql'] --libs [-static -L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm ] --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock] --port [3306] --version [3.23.42] Yet it should return: Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS] Options: --cflags [-I'/usr/local/mysql/include'] --libs [-static -L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm ] --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock] --port [3306] --version [3.23.42] I.e its tacking on mysql onto the end of the cflags and libs lines. This is a simple two line fix - hence I'm not attaching a patch. This breaks things that use mysql_config (eg perl's DBD::Mysql modules installer thingy). Thanks.
