Re: [Vala] [Solved] Problem using Mysql in Vala (Fedora 21): /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient

[AxP <Der_AxP t-online de>]

Hello folks,

thanks again for your input! I think I solved the problem! I'm new to 
Vala so I didn't think too much about searching for C tutorials and 
help-documents but after a little "groceries pause" I thought of looking 
after how *.so actually work with gcc. Should have done that before but 
looking on the bright side I now know that its not that bad to use this 
list :P

So, the solution was:
> Compiling: valac -c --pkg mysql "%f"
> Building: valac --pkg mysql "%f" -X -L/usr/lib64/mysql -X -lmysqlclient
I /think/ I tried using -L before but it seems I made some mistake.

After the build of the snippet worked I tried to build the complete 
example and it actually worked! /But/ I got some minor notice:
> valac --pkg mysql "main.vala" -X -L/usr/lib64/mysql -X -lmysqlclient

Doesn't seem to hurt :| Probably some of these c-compiler warnings you 
should ignore, right?

So I tried the program and got:
> ERROR 2003: Connection failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 
> '127.0.0.1' (111 "Connection refused")
Very nice! The program is semi-working! Now I have to figure some 
SQL-Stuff out, but that should be possible ;)


Thanks again! I will probably write again some time with something more 
interesting!
