Description:
Hi,

I am trying to compile the ODBC connector for QNX and facing the following error: 

Checking for mysql_store_result in -lmysqlclient... No configure: error: Could not find working MySQL client library!

I only need the connector as MySQL database is running on Windows machine and I just want to connect into this machine from QNX. So, should I install MySQL in order to get this library?

Thanks,
Chris 

How to repeat:
Try to build connector on QNX

As we do not provide client binaries for QNX any more (AFAIR), please, build them first from server sources with:

configure --without-server
make
make install

See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/configure-options.html for example.

We're sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking help on using MySQL products. Your problem is not the result of a bug.

Support on using our products is available both free in our forums at http://forums.mysql.com/ and for a reasonable fee direct from our skilled support engineers at http://www.mysql.com/support/

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Yes, you should install client libraries to be able to build Connector/ODBC. For QNX it would probably full server sources, then build only client.
