okay..i have decided to put my world files and player files into a mysql database and use it for storing information(as well as help files, text files, etc) i guess my question is more of a library question than anything else. to use the mysql interface you need to link two libraries to any file which you want to use it with(using #include <mysql.h>) the math lib and the mysqlclient lib. using -lm -lmysqlclient my question is, in the makefile, is there some easy way to set it up so that if the mysql.h is in the object dependencies, it automatically adds the -lm and -lmysqlclient? or is there someway to build it so i dont need to link them? i'm really clueless when it comes to linking libraries and whatnot.(among a good many other things) i have my libraries in my /lib directory and the mysql.h is in the /include directory. any help or pointers as to where to look would be very much appreciated. thanks, bill -- Weather forecast for today: Sunny & Mild Weather forecast for tomorrow : Sunny & Mild www.giftsgalore.com : www.longboys.net telnet://undying.longboys.net:4000 http://undying.longboys.net +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
