            Bug ID: 104962
           Summary: Compilier can not find files to link a simple MYSQL
                    app
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: murphy_535 at hotmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

gcc  client1.c -I"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include"
-L"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib" -lmysqlclient

client1.c is taken from a textbook. It compiles in Visual Studio 2022 with no
problem once the libraries are set.

I am an inexperienced user of the gcc compiler.

--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
This is best asked on the mailing list gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org (or maybe even the
binutils mailing list since it is about ld not finding the libraries, GCC does
not control the linker).
