I am trying to access an SQL server from a c/c++ application using mySql on an embedded ARM processor running Debian. I am compiling using the DS-5 eclipse based IDE (with gcc) under Windows.

The problem is that several of the header files are only present as '.h.in' files which I presume from googling is an autoconf thing. I am somewhat lost as to how to move forward.

Is autoconf something I can get eclipse to handle, or do I have to do this separately? How is this configured for the target device rather than the compiling machine?

And as a last question, are there any lighter weight SQL clients that I should be looking at?

  • So I have worked around the issue by installing libmysqlclient-dev on the embedded linux, and copying headers and object files into the DS-5 project as described here: http://www.raspberry-projects.com/pi/programming-in-c/mysql/setup-mysql-c-access – James Robinson Sep 25 '14 at 23:58
  • I am not entirely content with this although it does appear to work. I would still like to understand how to build the mysql library in DS-5. – James Robinson Sep 25 '14 at 23:59
