Category: mysql C API's
Class: linker troublbe to lib files
Release: mysql-3.21.33b
Environment:
System: FreeBSD 4.X
Architecture: Intel hardware I guess which the ISP may be using
Some paths:
header files /usr/local/include/mysql
Lib files /usr/local/lib/mysql
gcc version 2.7.2.3
Description:
I have been have this problem for a while now and I have asked this
question before but I can't get past this problem. I have looked though
the archives but no answer. The onl;y information related to my problem
in the mySQL manual is about adding the math lib to help linking and but
no help.
I am trying to get just connection help to mysql through a C program
using C API's but I get the same error in the linking process.
Error:
$ gcc -I/usr/local/include/mysql program.c -L/usr/local/lib/mysql
-lmysqlclient -o program
/var/tmp/ccXW16381.o: Undefined symbol `_mysql_init' referenced from
text segment
$
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include"mysql.h"
int main()
{
MYSQL *mysql;
mysql_init();
return(0);
}
Why can't it find the function in its own lib files "mysql_init"?
Could the lib files be corrupted or the headers. Or am I just to new to
this and can't figure it out. I am sorry to bother you guys and that
you get this question a lot, but I have searched a lot and can't find
resouce to help me.
P.S. Thank you earlier Thimble Smith, but I am still in the problem.
Thank you,
Roger
When linking with the C API, the following errors may occur on some
systems:
gcc -g -o client test.o -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lsocket
-lnsl
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
floor /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(password.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to client
If this happens on your system, you must include the math library by
adding -lm to the end of the
compile/link line.
