Convert compile command to build options?
« on: April 13, 2011, 12:54:19 pm »
I´m frequently finding tutorials where they compile at the command line, i.e. for a simple MySQL connection, like here:

http://iitdu.forumsmotion.com/t1544-connect-with-mysql-using-c-in-ubuntu

gcc -o output-file $(mysql_config --cflags) input-file.c $(mysql_config --libs)

I´d love to know, how to put those options into a C::B project under build options?

Hm, pretty strange way to use backticks `` :)

To convert it to C::B
1. project -> build options -> compiler -> other -> `mysql_config --cflags`
2. project -> build options -> other -> `mysql_config --libs`

WOW, ultra fast, short and precise, thank you.
