[odb-users] mingw - configure error libodb is not found

[Young, Jason]

Hello,



I am attempting to compile the libodb-mysql-2.0.1 on Windows 7 using msys to compile this library for mingw.  I was able to successfully compile libodb, and it installed the following into the /usr/local/lib directory:



libodb.a

libodb.dll.a

libodb.la



I was then able to download the MySQL client libraries, and renamed the libmysql.lib to libmysqlclient_r.a.  When running configure for libodb-mysql-2.0.1, the linker is able to find libmysqlclient_r with no problem.  However...I keep running into the following error:



checking for libmysqlclient_r... yes

checking for libodb... no

configure: error: libodb is not found; consider using --with-libodb=DIR



I am using the following command to attempt to run configure:



./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/c/tools/mysql/include LDFLAGS=-L/c/tools/mysql/lib



I additionally attempted to use the --with-libodb=/usr/local/lib or --with-libodb=/c/msys/1.0/local (since my msys local directory is installed in C:\msys\1.0\local).



I cannot seem to get the ./configure to find the libodb.  I'm fairly new to msys and mingw.  Is there a step that I am missing that would enable me to link to the libodb in order to build the libodb-mysql-2.0.1?



Thank you,
