Posted by Joys of Programming on in C/C++

mysql_config is a command line tool to find how your mysql is configured. It is useful to find out the information like the mysql socket.


$ mysql_config
Usage: ./mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
 --cflags         [-I/usr/local/mysql/include  -g -Os -arch i386 -fno-common   -D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ -DIGNORE_SIGHUP_SIGQUIT  -DDONT_DECLARE_CXA_PURE_VIRTUAL]
 --include        [-I/usr/local/mysql/include]
 --libs           [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm     -lmygcc]
 --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lz -lm     -lmygcc]
 --plugindir      [/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin]
 --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
 --port           [0]
 --version        [5.1.42]
 --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqld -ldl  -lz -lm       -lmygcc]

If you want to program with mysql libraries in C/C++, the above information on the libraries are quite useful.

For information on mysql sockets, you can run the above command in this way


$ mysql_config --socket

/tmp/mysql.sock

Using this information, I was able to configure mysql, php and apache.
