README: tdbcmysql

|
|
This is the 1.1.3 source distribution of the driver for Tcl
|
||
|
|
Database Connectivity (TDBC) to access MySQL databases.. TDBC and
|
||
|
|
its drivers are available from a Fossil version control repository
|
||
|
|
at http://tdbc.tcl.tk/
|
||

1. Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains the source code, documentation, and test
|
||
|
|
scripts for the MySQL driver for Tcl Database Connectivity. This
|
||
|
|
module, plus TDBC itself, allow you to access MySQL databases using a
|
||
|
|
standard application programming interface (API) from a Tcl script.
|
||
|
|
This module is also available from http://tdbc.tcl.tk along with the
|
||
|
|
source code of TDBC itself. A bug database and Wiki are available at
|
||
|
|
the same location.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tdbc::mysql is a freely-available open source package. You can do
|
||
|
|
virtually anything you like with it, such as modifying it,
|
||
|
|
redistributing it, and selling it either in whole or in part. See the
|
||
|
|
file "license.terms" for complete information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Compilation and Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module follows the general configuration and installation
|
||
|
|
rules described in the README file for tdbc. In addition to the
|
||
|
|
options described there, the 'configure' script for tdbcmysql
|
||
|
|
accepts the following two options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--with-mysql-includedir=PATH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifies PATH as the path to the directory that contains
|
||
|
|
'mysql.h' and related header files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--with-mysql-libdir=PATH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifies PATH as the path to the directory that contains
|
||
|
|
the MySQL link libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building on Windows is tested only with msys/mingw, and only with
|
||
|
|
the version of MySQL present in XAMPP (https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp)
|
||
|
|
You need the 'xampp-win32-devel' package as well as the 'xampp-win32'
|
||
|
|
package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to build the code under msys/mingw, you need to rebuild the
|
||
|
|
import library for use by mingw. (This also requires the 'reimp'
|
||
|
|
utility from mingw-utils.) The recipe for this step is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
reimp -d drive:/path/to/xampp/lib/mysql/libmysql.lib
|
||
|
|
dlltool -k -d libmysql.def -l libmysql.a
|
||
|
|
cp libmysql.a drive:/path/to/mingw/lib
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is also convenient to make sure that the MySQL headers are available
|
||
|
|
without the --with option:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cp -r drive:/path/to/xampp/include/mysql/* drive:/path/to/mingw/include/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then an ordinary 'configure' and 'make' should function to build the
|
||
|
|
load module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE THAT ON WINDOWS, THE 'libmysql.dll' LIBRARY MUST BE ON THE PATH
|
||
|
|
AT RUNTIME. Probably the easiest way to ensure this happens is to
|
||
|
|
put it either in the Windows 'system32' directory or the 'bin'
|
||
|
|
directory of your Tcl distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 'doc' subdirectory in this release contains a set of reference
|
||
|
|
manual entries for tdbc::mysql. Files with an extension '.n' are for
|
||
|
|
Tcl classes and commands; files with an extension '.3' are for C
|
||
|
|
library functions. The file, 'doc/tdbcmysql.n' gives an overview,
|
||
|
|
listing the classes and functions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
