Hi!

Download a source, run configure, make, make install and you will have 
all you need to build CGI which connects to MySQL.

In client dir there are client programs, which will be a good guidance 
on how to build programs with C API. There is also a C++ API for
MySQL.

There is also a nice chapter in a manual on C API.
