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:

       ·  --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.

       ·  --include

	  Compiler options to find MySQL include files.

       ·  --libmysqld-libs, --embedded

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

       ·  --libs

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

       ·  --libs_r

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

       ·  --plugindir

	  The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring
	  MySQL. This option was added in MySQL 6.0.5.

       ·  --port

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

       ·  --socket

	  The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.

       ·  --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.
