First, your project need to be an autotools project, it's the default 
project type.

Then you can select on Project->Add library->New Library. If your have 
installed the development package for mysql and that it contains a 
pkg-config file, it should appears in the list and you just have to 
select it, click Add and then select in the first dialog which target 
needs this library, typically your main program or library.


Now, this uses pkg_config and according to the command line in your 
mail, it's quite possible that mysql uses its own stuff mysql_config and 
doesn't provide the pkg-config file. In this case, the method above is 
not working and you have to use less user friendly method.

Again, it needs to be a autotools project. Then, you need to select the 
target needing these additional options, it can be a group (=a 
directory) containing all your sources files or the target (the library 
or an executable). Right click on it in the project pane, select 
property and fill the C compiler flags with `mysql_config --cflags`. If 
it doesn't appear you can have to click on more option expander first.


If your project doesn't use autotools, it's up to you to edit the 
makefile or whatever build file you use with a text editor. You can do 
that for autotoold build file too (Makefile.am) as Anjuta is able to 
parse them.
