The library file name must be libmysqlclient.a for the -l switch to work. 
Another option is to just list the library file on the command line like this:

g++ -o ffind config.o sql.o query.o parseword.o ffind.o \
  /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a

The GCC will recognize the library and use it properly.

The collect2 problem isn't your problem here.  That has to do with seeing the
output from ld which you're seeing.  And yes you have it, you'll find it under
the lib/gcc-lib subdirectories.  To get the exact location you can gcc
--print-file-name=specs and the directory in which the specs file is the same
directory that the collect2 program is located.

Re: ld problems

[Kirth]

ahh right that fixed it, mind you im not getting undefined reference's
to thinks like mysql_init .. theres are definitly part of the mysqlclient
lib. I had thought to compilie mysql myself, however it gives a few hundred
errors, so that was no go.

Any suggestions ? ive tried the library that comes with mysql for windows,
the one from the extra mysqlclients package, and even copying across
my linux library, all give roughly the same undefined reference's.

sorry if thats a bit OT, mysql doesnt seem to have a mailing list
for compiling under cygwin with it.

Hmm... I believe I remember a post that mysql had been ported to Cygwin. Check
the archives and the ported packages information on the Cygwin pages at
sourceware.cygnus.com.

I wasn't aware that you were using a M$ built library.  Anders Norlander has a
program he's called pexports which is able to read a dll if you have the
headers and create a def file so that you can create an import library.  You
can find pexports at his URL of
http://www.acc.umu.se/~anorland/gnu-win32/index.html .

The caveat to this is that the Non-Cygwin mysql.dll won't understand the Cygwin
mounted paths.

Good Luck,
Earnie.

sorry, i wasnt using any ms dll's, what i meant was i tried the cygnus port

I'm not saying this will help but since switch position matters, what happens
if you move the -L/usr/local/lib/mysql to just before the -lmysqlclient?

Re: ld problems

unfortuanlty the same thing

g++   -o ffind config.o sql.o query.o parseword.o ffind.o
-L/usr/local/lib/mysql
  -lmysqlclient
/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/2.95.2/../../../../i5
86-cygwin32/bin/ld: cannot open -lmysqlclient: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ffind] Error 1

ive even tried with -L./ and put the file in the same dir
ive renamed it mysqlclient, mysqlclient.so, mysqlclient.a ... all 
fail. 

i read something in the mailing list about removing collect2
so that ld gets run directly, but i dont have a collect2 file (at all)

Thanks

ld problems

[Kirth]

I saw this was covered last month in the mailing lists, and the
recommendation was to upgrade binutils.
Well heres the error first

bash-2.02$ make
g++  -L/usr/local/lib/mysql  -o ffind config.o sql.o query.o parseword.o
ffind.o
 -lmysqlclient
/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/i586-cygwin32/bin/ld: cannot open -lmysqlclient: No
su
ch file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ffind] Error 1
bash-2.02$ ld --version
GNU ld 2.9.5
Copyright 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

now i have created /usr/local/lib/mysql and put the lib file in there, it
refuses to fine ANY of the lib files... i tried including the ones supplied
in the full.exe file.

Any suggestions ?
(note: i need to get this working today, or abandon it, dont you hate project
deadlines ?)

Kirth
