Re: [Quickfix-users] Compile with MySQL

[Jim M. <per...@my...>]

Well I got MySQL support to compile, so for the benefit of anyone in the 
future going through this, here's the deal.

System is RedHat 9, QuickFIX version is 1.5.0
Using rpm, install the MySQL server, client and development headers. In 
MySQL 4.0 the files are installed as follows:
  /var/lib/mysql     - MySQL library files
  /usr/include/mysql - MySQL header files *.h
  /usr/bin           - MySQL Executable files
  /usr/share/mysql   - MySQL configuration and language files

In fact, NONE of these directories work when used with the ./configure 
directive. The correct invocation is:

  ./configure --with-mysql=/usr

make and make install will run fine after this.

Hope this saves someone a few hours of pain.

Cheers

Jim
