Yes, libmysqlclient works fine when compiled under Cygwin. Once you have a static libmysqlclient.a it is possible to create a shared .dll from it. With the clientlib you can link most applications to enable the access to a MySQL server. Just add '--without-server' to the configure options. After you have a static lib you can create a shared lib like this (steamroller tactics): gcc -shared -o cygmysqlclient-3.23.51.dll \ -Wl,--out-implib=libmysqlclient.dll.a -Wl,--export-all-symbols \ -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--whole-archive libmysqlclient.a \ -Wl,--no-whole-archive -lcrypt -lz You also need to modify the file /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.la to point to the dll then: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='/bin/cygmysqlclient-3.23.51.dll' # Names of this library. library_names='libmysqlclient.dll.a' # The name of the static archive. old_library='libmysqlclient.a' Gerrit -- =^..^= -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
