Compiling Connector/C

Compile MariaDB Connector/C after configuration using CMake on Windows or Unix. Supports Visual Studio builds and GNU make, with both IDE and command-line build options.

After successful configuration, Connector/C can now be compiled.

Compiling on Windows

If no CMake generator was specified, CMake creates by default build files for Visual Studio. You can now either build Connector/C inside Visual Studio

devenv mariadb_connector_c.sln

or via command line

cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo

Compiling on Unix

By default CMake creates build files for GNU make. On some system GNU make is renamed to gmake. You can now build Connector/C with

make

or

cmake --build . --config Release
