The MySQL++ examples weren't designed to be built by hand like this. 
The normal MySQL++ library build also builds the examples.

If you're just trying to figure out how to build a MySQL++ program, 
you've already got it.  The examples have other requirements that you 
needn't bother yourself with.  You can figure it out by studying 
Makefile.simple, but really, it's just details specific to the MySQL++ 
examples.
