MYSQL_CONFIG(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_CONFIG(1)

NAME
mysql_config - get compile options for compiling clients

SYNOPSIS
mysql_config options

DESCRIPTION
mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your MySQL client and
connecting it to MySQL.

mysql_config supports the following options:

o --cflags

Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags and defines used when
compiling the libmysqlclient library. The options returned are tied to the specific
compiler that was used when the library was created and might clash with the settings
for your own compiler. Use --include for more portable options that contain only
include paths.

o --include

Compiler options to find MySQL include files.

o --libmysqld-libs, --embedded

Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded server.

o --libs

Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client library.

o --libs_r

Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL client library.

o --port

The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.

o --socket

The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.

o --version

Version number for the MySQL distribution.

If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all options that it supports,
and their values:

shell> mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
-lpthread -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [4.0.16]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lpthread -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]

You can use mysql_config within a command line to include the value that it displays for a
particular option. For example, to compile a MySQL client program, use mysql_config as follows:

shell> CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
shell> sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --include` progname.c `$CFG --libs`"

When you use mysql_config this way, be sure to invoke it within backtick ("`") characters. That
tells the shell to execute it and substitute its output into the surrounding command.
