Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] ais-tools installation problem

[irene159]

Hello,
Well I downloaded mysql-3.23.43, I am not sure I’ve done the right choice. I
did do some Internet research before installing it and that’s when I
realized that there are many problems with mysql running on Cygwin although
this version was said to work. Can somebody confirm? 
The point is there is no libmysqlclient.dll. I run ./configure, make and
make install with no problem but I noticed the following message:


Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib/mysql

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag


I don’t really understand what must be done to link against the libraries. I
just added 
AM_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql" 
to the Makefile, did I miss something?
When should the libmysqlclient.dll file have been created? The only files
that were generated are libmysqlclient.a and libmysqlclient.la. What is the
difference between .dll, .a and .la files? Which files are required for the
library libmysqlclient to work? While searching for solutions I’ve read
about dynamic linking, shared libraries, dynamic and static libraries… all
this is still confusing for me so if someone doesn't mind giving some
explanations I’ll appreciate.

Thanks!

Irene
