[Mysql-cocoa-users] generating libmysqlclient.dylib

[Nathaniel I. <nd...@bu...>]

I haven't figured out how to create libmysqlclient.dylib when building
MySQL from source. MySQL is built and runs fine. Any suggestions? I
would much rather figure out how to generate this myself than use the
precompiled version, because both my OS and my MySQL installation are a
little unusual. I was under the impression that all I had to do was
configure MySQL with --enabled-shared, but apparently I was mistaken. I
see libmysqlclient.a in /usr/local/lib/mysql, but no dylib.

As a subset of that question, I would appreciate understanding what the
ltconfig patch mentioned in the RTF build instructions actually does. It
appears to me that it will not have an effect on 10.2 (which has Darwin
6.0, while the patch only targets 5.*), but since I don't know what it's
supposed to accomplish, I can't tell if that's a problem.

Thanks very much.
