Where is there an OS X equivalent of:

"MySQL-client-VERSION.i386.rpm

The standard mysql client programs. You probably always want to install

this package." which is referred to here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Linux-RPM.html

Specifically, I am looking for libmysqlclient.so.12 since you cannot

package that in applications since it would break the terms of the GPL.

    • OK so how do you reconfigure? Here's what happens when I try this:

      ./configure CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CXX=gcc \

      > CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors \

      > -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \

      > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \

      > --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client \

      > --enable-local-infile --enable-shared

      NOTE: This is a mysql binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't

      need to configure it!

    • That's right, it's a precompiled binary. If you want a different

      configuration, you have to download the source and build your own

      <http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/>. I haven't tried --enable-shared on Mac

      OS X, so I can't promise it will work, but I'm not aware of any reason it

      wouldn't.

      In any case, I don't see how this will help you, as your stated goal was to

      avoid distributing the library. I suspect you'll either have to face the

      licensing issue and distribute your app with the library built in, or

      distribute your app in source with instructions to build against the

      customer's copy of the library.

    • OK using the source and adding '--enable-shared' to the configure line

      works on OS X. I then had to create 3 links in order for our app to find

      the client library:

      ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.12.0.0.dylib

      /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.12.0.0.dylib

      ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.12.0.0.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.12.dylib

      ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.12.0.0.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib

      We're simply working on a how-to/faq to address this issue informing

      users that they will have to install/configure mysql to have this in

      place...

      Thanks for the help.
