Big time newbie question on embedded linking

[Matt Young]

I have both the standard and source mysql, and I am attempting a link with a 
simple program that calles mysql_server_init and mysql_server_end.

I have tried various library call outs to find these two calls in both the 
standard and source mysql directories.

I have not located these in any of the .a libraries, but did find them in the 
mysql.o

I have these files in the standard mysql lib, and put my program right in the 
directory, and specified every file directly, with -l, set up the -L using 
the reports from mysql_config (which didn't exactly call out the proper 
dirictories).   The only time of found the routines was when linking to 
mysql.o directly.

So something is wrong with my set up

This command file:

ls
pwd
CFLAG='-v -H'
LFLAG='-L/usr/local/mysql/lib'
IFLAG=-I/usr/local/mysql/include
AFILES='libz.so libmygcc.a libmysqld.a libmysqlclient.a'
gcc   $IFLAG  $AFILES  $LFLAG   $1


Yields this result:

embedded.c  libdbug.a   libmysql.o        libmysqlclient_r.a  libmystrings.a  
libz.so
hash.o      libmygcc.a  libmysqlclient.a  libmysqld.a         libmysys.a
