Description:
After installing mysql-4.1.8 on a Linux machine, I have
these files in PREFIX/lib/mysql directory:
libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient.la
libmysqlclient.so -> libmysqlclient.so.14.0.0
libmysqlclient.so.14 -> libmysqlclient.so.14.0.0
libmysqlclient.so.14.0.0
It's fine.
On a FreeBSD 5.1 something is going wrong:
libmysqlclient -> libmysqlclient.14
libmysqlclient.14
libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient.la
"libmysqlclient" is a wrong name for a shared library.
It should have been libmysqlclient.so, like on a Linux box.
Linker doesn't see this library and all client programs
are linked against static libmysqlclient.a, which results
into a huge executable file size.
How to repeat:
Run make install on a FreeBSD box.
Type "ls" in the library dicterctory.
Then try to complie some some program:
[bar@bar:~]$cc a.c -I/usr/local/mysql-4.1/include/mysql -L/usr/local/mysql-4.1/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lssl -lcrypto -lm -o a
[bar@bar:~]$ls -l a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bar wheel 2292411 24 dec 11:52 a
[bar@bar:~]$ldd a
a:
libz.so.2 => /usr/lib/libz.so.2 (0x2809d000)
libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 (0x280ab000)
libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x280dc000)
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x281e7000)
libc.so.5 => /usr/lib/libc.so.5 (0x28204000)
Shared version of libmysqlclient is not seen. And the executable file size is very big.
