can"t seem to statically link DBD-mysql against libmysqlclient.a

howdy

I'm using DBD-mysql-2.1011, perl 5.005_003 (same problem on 5.6)

here's my command line:

perl Makefile.PL LIB=/opt/foo PREFIX=/opt/foo "--libs=../pathto/libmysqlclient.a -lz -lnsl -lcrypt -lm" "--cflags=-I../pathto/include -I../pathto/otherinclude"

and it tells me this:

....

cflags (Users choice) = -I../pathto/include -I../pathto/otherinclude
libs (Users choice) = ../pathto/libmysqlclient.a -lz -lnsl -lcrypt -lm
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testuser (default ) =

....

Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: './pathto/libmysqlclient.a'


I've also tried absolute paths, no luck. What am I missing?

You need to use '--libs=-L./path -lmysqlclient'
You didn't see the -L

that does dynamic linking. I want to link statically. In a normal make
environment, if you want dynamic linking, you do:

cc object1.o object2.o -o program -lsomelib

whereas if you want to link statically, you do:

cc object1.o object2.o /path/to/libsomelib.a -o program

I ended up having to use a hacked up copy of ExtUtils/MM_unix.pm from the
standard perl library to get it to work. There doesn't seem to be a way to do
it with recent versions of makemaker...

Re: can"t seem to statically link DBD-mysql against libmysqlclient.a

You must create a dynamicly loadable file for DynaLoader to work. If you
want to create a staticly linked file, you must recompile perl. And thats
a pain.

If you have a libmysqlclient.a, you can create a dynamically loadable
mysql.so and have that work. It worked for me, in any case.

right, the second one is what I want. I could find no way to get makemaker
to let me supply libmysqlclient.a as an object to link into mysql.so.

The MM_unix hack works fine, but it obviously wasn't a simple solution :)
