[odb-users] How to compile "hello" example on RHEL

[Stroud, Sean T]

Hi,

I’m a new user, evaluating odb for potential use on our project.  The documentation and examples look really great.  Only one problem – how do you compile them?  For the “hello” example I see there is a “README” file.  I would expect the README file to say how to compile and link the example but it doesn’t (it only tells how to run odb to generate the code).

My environment:
•       OS:                                  Linux (RHEL)
•       Compiler:                 g++ 4.1.2
•       ODB version:               1.7.0
•       ODB installation dir:  /home/ststrou/ODB

As a guess, I tried the following command in the “/home/ststrou/ODB/odb-examples-1.7.0/hello” directory:

% g++ -c driver.cxx -I /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-1.7.0 -I /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-mysql-1.7.0

But that fails with the following output:

      In file included from /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-1.7.0/odb/details/export.hxx:11,
                       from /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-1.7.0/odb/forward.hxx:11,
                       from /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-1.7.0/odb/traits.hxx:11,

                       from driver.cxx:8:

      In file included from /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-mysql-1.7.0/odb/mysql/version.hxx:11,
                       from person-odb.hxx:37,
                       from driver.cxx:14:
      /home/ststrou/ODB/libodb-mysql-1.7.0/odb/mysql/details/config.hxx:18:40: error: odb/mysql/details/config.h: No such file or directory
      database.hxx: In function ‘std::auto_ptr<odb::database> create_database(int&, char**)’:
      database.hxx:85: error: ‘db’ was not declared in this scope

I tried looking at the Makefile.am and Makefile.im files, but they look ridiculously complicated and I have no idea how to invoke them.

Thanks,

Sean
