[SOLVED] Problem with (instalation of?) mysql.h on c

b4str1 · 06-02-2015, 07:14 PM

Hi, I've just recently installed MySQL connector/c from source code on my Slackware 14.1 x64

I read the official instructions of the connector but I felt a bit disorientated when I read:

Code:

1 -Change location to the top-level directory of the source distribution.

I interpreted that I have to go to the "highest" directory

Code:

So I wrote:

Code:

 
        #                            cd /

root@- /#                            tar xzvf /home/normal/Downloads/mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src.tar.gz 

root@- /#                            cd /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src/

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# make 

root@- /mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src# make install

Then I did:

Code:

ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.6.25/include /usr/include

But when I try to compile a program in c with #include <mysql.h> i get this error:

Code:

# gcc ctemp.c 
In file included from ctemp.c:2:0:
/usr/include/mysql.h:57:27: fatal error: mysql_version.h: No such file or directory
 #include "mysql_version.h"
                           ^

What can I do? Thanks a lot and sorry for poor english

PD: If you need the official instructions I paste here the link: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-...on-source.html

According to the instructions, mysql is installed to '/usr/local/mysql', not 'usr/local/mysql-5.6.25'.

Yes but I made a Symbolic Link from /usr/local/mysql-5.6.25 to /usr/local/mysql when I installed MySQL
