Problems with compiling

[Undie]

Hi !

I get this error when trying to compile:

g++ -mcpu=i386 -c -o nwnx2lib.o nwnx2lib.cpp
g++ -mcpu=i386 -c -o NWNXBase.o NWNXBase.cpp

The README file says it searches for mysql in /usr/lib/mysql
.. my path is /usr/local/mysql .. i dont really know how to make it search elsewhere .. there is no prefix avalible in the configure line ..
This may not even be the problem .. i have no ideá .. was hoping you guys could help me out !

EDIT: I made my mysql installation from source .. and alot of answers to this questions have been that the devel version is needed .. I might be wrong here, but doesnt the sourceball contain all the packages ? And im sure that there is no such option in the configure line !

Yeah, it definately looks like it can't find the mysql header file. Not the answer you want to hear, I'm sure, but you might make a sym link to the header file in the directory the compiler is looking in.

If I am not mistaken you can create an environmental variable CPP_FLAGS or something similar and supply it with -L/usr/local/mysql/include :

You need to install the developer files for mysql.. the rpm is avail at mysql site. I had trouble with this also i found the best version to use is the rpm from mysql site for the db and all include files. dont forget to install the client side apps also. heres the site link.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html
scroll down to the x86 rpm downloads

************************************************************
Heres what to do before the ./configure make install

You can edit the address before you ./configure it.

In the linnwnx2/db folder select the Makefile.in and open in your favorite editor.

Scroll down to the libs=@libs@ -L /dir/to/your/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz

save and exit Deleat the backup makefile (if your editor makes one).

Then ./configure like normal and it should find the custom location you put the mysql in.

Hope this helps someone.
