26.1.7.2. Typical configure Options
The configure script gives you a great deal
of control over how you configure your MyODBC build. Typically
you do this using options on the configure
command line. You can also affect configure
using certain environment variables. For a list of options and
environment variables supported by configure,
run this command:
shell> ./configure --help
Some of the more commonly used configure
options are described here:
-
To compile MyODBC, you need to supply the MySQL client
include and library files path using the
--with-mysql-path=DIR
option, where DIR is the
directory where the MySQL is installed.
MySQL compile options can be determined by running
DIR/bin/mysql_config
-
Supply the standard header and library files path for your
ODBC Driver Manager(iodbc or
unixobc).
-
If you are using iodbc and
iodbc is not installed in its default
location (/usr/local), you might
have to use the
--with-iodbc=DIR
option, where DIR is the
directory where iodbc is installed.
If the iodbc headers do not reside in
DIR/include--with-iodbc-includes=INCDIR
option to specify their location.
The applies to libraries. If they are not in
DIR/lib--with-iodbc-libs=LIBDIR
option.
-
If you are using unixODBC, use the
--with-unixODBC=DIR
option (case sensitive) to make
configure look for
unixODBC instead of
iodbc by default,
DIR is the directory where
unixODBC is installed.
If the unixODBC headers and libraries aren't located in
DIR/includeDIR/lib--with-unixODBC-includes=INCDIR
and
--with-unixODBC-libs=LIBDIR
options.
You might want to specify an installation prefix other than
/usr/local. For example, to install the
MyODBC drivers in /usr/local/odbc/lib,
use the --prefix=/usr/local/odbc option.
The final configuration command looks something like this:
shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--with-iodbc=/usr/local \
--with-mysql-path=/usr/local/mysql
