Description:
Trying to compile the NDB API example programs fail as they do not include all the necessary system libraries.

How to repeat:
For example compiling ndbapi_event.cpp:

g++ -o ndbapi_event  -I/MySQL/Cluster-7.2.13/include  -fPIC -g -static-libgcc -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -DMY_PTHREAD_FASTMUTEX=1 -I/home/MySQL/Cluster-7.2.13/include/storage/ndb -I/MySQL/Cluster-7.2.13/include/storage/ndb/ndbapi -I/MySQL/Cluster-7.2.13/include/storage/ndb/mgmapi  -L/MySQL/Cluster-7.2.13/lib -lmysqlclient_r -lpthread -lm -lrt -ldl -lndbclient ndbapi_event.cpp

Suggested fix:
Add necessary include files to the source. E.g. for ndbapi_event.cpp:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

Pushed fixes with additional include file directives and some adjustments of the Makefiles to 7.2.15 and 7.3.4

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest available version, including the bug fix. More information about accessing the source trees is available at

Documented in the NDB 7.2.15 and 7.3.4 changelogs as follows:

        Compilation of example NDB API program files failed due to
        missing include directives.
