I'd say that most of the output of mysql_config --cflags and mysql_config
--libs is a bug - for the shared library, there's no need to explicitly include
the pthread etc. libraries (unless, of course, your program also uses them
directly). In CMake terms, they should have been PRIVATE dependencies of the
shared library, rather than PUBLIC. (I don't seem to have been able to
convince the MariaDB Connector/C developers of that, though...)
I'm attaching a file I wrote for our project to enable:
find_package(MariaDB REQUIRED)
include_directories(${MARIADB_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(mainexe ${MARIADB_LIBRARY})

Subject: [CMake] Linking to MySQL C++ Connector libraries using extra flags,
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, gcc
Hello,
First, I would like to point out that I'm new to CMake, and I'm not a
professional programer by any means - just a Physics research student.
I looked for answers to my issue online, but couldn't find anything
that helped me. I also asked my peers and friends, but unfortunately
none of them could find an answer as well.
I want to use MySQL connector for C++ in a program. Usually I do this
by using the 'mysql' and 'my_global' libraries, and then run gcc with
this added flag: `mysql_config --cflags --libs`.
Typing this command into my console results in:
$mysql_config --cflags --libs
-I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -DNDEBUG
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lz -lm -ldl
meaning there are some linking flags that must be given so gcc would
compile my code, apart from just "-lmysql" or "-l/usr/include/mysql".
My question is how do I ensure this works also with CMake? I
understand how to use the CMakeLists.txt file to configure additional
external libraries, but none of them require special flags as above,
at least in my basic use of them. Since there's no module for MySQL
connector, I'm a bit lost here.
Could anyone please give me a some advices, or point me to what should be done?
Thanks,
Peleg Bar Sapir
