22.5.5. Building MySQL Connector/C Applications

To build C applications that use MySQL Connector/C, the connector must be installed. If you need to do that first, see Section 22.5.4, "Installing MySQL Connector/C".

For instructions on building MySQL Connector/C applications, see Section 22.8.4.1, "Building C API Client Programs". To enable your compiler to find the header and library files under the directory where you installed MySQL Connector/C, specify the appropriate compile-time options, as indicated in that section.

For binary distributions, the docs/INFO_BIN file contains information about the build environment used to compile MySQL Connector/C. This may help you select compatible tools for compiling client applications.
