Description:
Calling "mysql_set_server_option" using the embedded server library will result to a linker error because its definition is missing from libmysqld.lib/exp. The documentation didn't state that it cannot be called using the embedded server library, moreover it is defined in libmysql.c which is included in the libmysqld project.

There may be more missing definitions missing....

How to repeat:
Use libmysqld.lib/exp and call mysql_set_server_option, it will result to a linker error.

Suggested fix:
Add "mysql_set_server_option" (without quotes) in libmysqld.def. (same goes for other missing stuff) or use DUMPBIN to generate exports, or use makedef (http://www.codeguru.com/tools/standalonetools/article.php/c1351__1#more) to automatically generate .def files or turn the STDCALL define from this:

/* This was  _System _Export but caused a lot of warnings on _AIX43 */
#define STDCALL
#elif !defined( STDCALL)
#define STDCALL
#endif

to something like this:

#ifdef STDCALL
#ifdef _WIN32
#ifdef EMBEDDED_LIBRARY
#define STDCALL __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define STDCALL __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#endif
#define STDCALL
#endif
