Header Files.
In order to compile source files that use the NDB API, you
must ensure that the necessary header files can be found.
Header files specific to the NDB API are installed in the
following subdirectories of the MySQL
include directory:
include/mysql/storage/ndb/ndbapiinclude/mysql/storage/ndb/mgmapi
Compiler Flags. The MySQL-specific compiler flags needed can be determined using the mysql_config utility that is part of the MySQL installation:
$ mysql_config --cflags -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -Wreturn-type -Wtrigraphs -W -Wformat -Wsign-compare -Wunused -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4
This sets the include path for the MySQL header files but not
for those specific to the NDB API. The
--include option to
mysql_config returns the generic include
path switch:
shell> mysql_config --include -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql
It is necessary to add the subdirectory paths explicitly, so
that adding all the needed compile flags to the
CXXFLAGS shell variable should look
something like this:
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS "`mysql_config --cflags` CFLAGS="$CFLAGS "`mysql_config --include`/storage/ndb CFLAGS="$CFLAGS "`mysql_config --include`/storage/ndb/ndbapi CFLAGS="$CFLAGS "`mysql_config --include`/storage/ndb/mgmapi
Tip
If you do not intend to use the Cluster management functions,
the last line in the previous example can be omitted. However,
if you are interested in the management functions only, and do
not want or need to access Cluster data except from MySQL,
then you can omit the line referencing the
ndbapi directory.
