Re: Best way to organize a portable framework...

[Jason Clouse]

OK, I've gotten a GNUmakefile that builds the project (SMySQL 
framework, in case anyone is interested) and it works fine.  However, 
since the MySQL client library can be in any number of locations (it's 
in /usr/lib/mysql on my machine), I've decided to use the output of 
the 'mysql-config --libs' command in the makefile like this:

SMySQL_LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON += `mysql_config --libs`

Which yields "-L'/usr/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm".

Is that an acceptable way to do this or is there a better way?
