在C ++项目（Mac OS X，g ++，Eclipse）中静态链接MySQL

Question

I'm getting an error while trying to include libmysqlclient in a project. I'm using Mac OS X, Eclipse CDT, g++.

The error I'm getting is ld: library not found for -l/usr/local/mysql-5.6.15-osx10.7-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.a , even though I included this file by navigating to it with the finder.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

If the -l linker flag is used, the correct value is -lmysqlclient , which would find either libmysqliclient.a or libmysqlclient.dylib on the library search path.

To solve your problem, do one of the following:

1. Convince your IDE not to prepend -l to the full pathname.

2. In your IDE settings, add /usr/local/mysql-5.6.15-osx10.7-x86_64/lib to the library search path (that's already done, as seen on the screen shots), and specify mysqlcient in the Libraries section, so -lmysqlclient would be passed to the linker.
