I'm trying to install a C++ MySQL connector on a centOS 6.4 64bit machine.
I've installed MySQL 5.6 ( a server and client component, and an additional shared component in order to get the mysqlclient.s0 libraries ) It seems to work fine.

On the site I've found the following file :
Red Hat/Oracle Enterprise Linux ver. 6 (x86, 64-bit), Compressed TAR Archive After reading the INSTALL file I've tried to invoke cmake . , but got an error about a missing CMakeLists.txt.
Later I found out I need the actual source code in the drop down pane :
Generic Linux (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive there is a CMakeLists.txt file in the directory of the the source code
and I am able to run : cmake .

  • why is there also the platform specific download ?
  • Can I get by with only the source code ?

when I run cmake . from the directory, I get the following output:

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: A logical block opening on the line

/home/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.3-linux-el6-x86-64bit/source/CMakeLists.txt:39

(if)

closes on the line

/home/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.3-linux-el6-x86-64bit/source/CMakeLists.txt:41

(endif)

with mis-matching arguments. This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

this is the content of lines around line CMakeLists.txt:39-41 :

  • I don't understand. did it find the boost components or it didn't ? and if it did, why is this an error?
  • I've installed/updated boost components with : yum install boost this is the output of a :

I've tried to run the cmake . with the following parameters without luck :

cmake . -DBOOST_ROOT:STRING=/usr/lib64/

and

cmake . -DBOOST_ROOT:STRING=/usr/share/doc/

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Instead of trying to make it work with the dynamic libraries that were found under :
/usr/lib64/ (I had any libraries because I've ran : yum install boost)
I've decided to try with static ones. After I've downloaded boost : I just had to point to the parent directory :

cmake . -DBOOST_ROOT:STRING=/home/boost_1_54_0/

and the cmake finished without a problem.

One might try to make the cmake process work with the dynamic libraries, but the CMakeLists.txt file should be edited accordingly. for example

SET(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE) 

should be changed.
