compiling a c++ program including mysql
- by wyatt
I'm new to gcc, and trying to compile a c++ program which includes mysql.h using the command:
g++ -o test test.cpp -L/usr/include/mysql -lmysqlclient -I/usr/include/mysql
It works without issue, but I was wondering if someone could explain the arguments to me. I don't like using commands I don't understand.
Thanks
