  • -DBUILD_STATIC=bool

    By default, dynamic (shared) libraries are built. If this option is enabled, static libraries are built instead.

  • -DBUNDLE_DEPENDENCIES=bool

    This is an internal option used for creating Connector/C++ distribution packages.

  • -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type

    The type of build to produce:

    • Debug: Disable optimizations and generate debugging information. This is the default.

    • Release: Enable optimizations.

    • RelWithDebInfo: Enable optimizations and generate debugging information.

  • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR=dir_name

    The documentation installation directory, relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. If not specified, the default is to install in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

    This option requires that WITH_DOC be enabled.

    This option was added in Connector/C++ 8.0.14.

  • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=dir_name

    The header file installation directory, relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. If not specified, the default is include.

    This option was added in Connector/C++ 8.0.14.

  • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=dir_name

    The library installation directory, relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. If not specified, the default is lib64 or lib.

    This option was added in Connector/C++ 8.0.14.

  • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dir_name

    The installation base directory (where to install Connector/C++).

  • -DMAINTAINER_MODE=bool

    This is an internal option used for creating Connector/C++ distribution packages. It was added in Connector/C++ 8.0.12.

  • -DMYSQLCLIENT_STATIC_BINDING=bool

    Whether to link to the shared MySQL client library. This option is used only if MYSQLCLIENT_STATIC_LINKING is disabled to enable dynamic linking of the MySQL client library. In that case, if MYSQLCLIENT_STATIC_BINDING is enabled (the default), Connector/C++ is linked to the shared MySQL client library. Otherwise, the shared MySQL client library is loaded and mapped at runtime.

    This option applies only if you are building the legacy JDBC connector (that is, only if WITH_JDBC is enabled). It was added in Connector/C++ 8.0.16.

  • -DMYSQLCLIENT_STATIC_LINKING=bool

    Whether to link statically to the MySQL client library. The default depends on the legacy JDBC connector that you are building:

    • From Connector/C++ 8.0.33, the default is OFF (use dynamic linking to the client library). Enabling this option disables dynamic linking to the client library.

    • For Connector/C++ 8.0.16 to 8.0.32, the default is ON (use static linking to the client library). Disabling this option enables dynamic linking to the client library. CMake verifies that the current compiler and standard libraries can build without errors at configuration time.

    This option applies only if you are building the legacy JDBC connector (that is, only if WITH_JDBC is enabled). It was added in Connector/C++ 8.0.16.

  • -DMYSQL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=file_name

    The path to the mysql_config program.

    On non-Windows systems, CMake checks to see whether MYSQL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE is set. If not, CMake tries to locate mysql_config in the default locations.

    This option applies only if you are building the legacy JDBC connector (that is, only if WITH_JDBC is enabled).

  • -DMYSQL_DIR=dir_name

    The directory where MySQL is installed.

    This option applies only if you are building the legacy JDBC connector (that is, only if WITH_JDBC is enabled).

  • -DSTATIC_MSVCRT=bool

    (Windows only) Use the static runtime library (the /MT* compiler option). This option might be necessary if code that uses Connector/C++ also uses the static runtime library.

  • -DWITH_BOOST={system|path_name}

    This option specifies which BOOST header file to use when compiling Connector/C++ with an external dependency. The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system BOOST header file.

    • path_name is the path name to the file to use.

    For consistency with CMake conventions, BOOST_DIR or BOOST_ROOT_DIR can be used instead of WITH_BOOST to indicate the base location of the dependency. As an alternative that implies the WITH_BOOST option (without specifying it), use BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR to provide the header file location instead of deriving it from the BOOST_ROOT_DIR value.

    This option applies only if you are building the legacy JDBC connector (that is, only if WITH_JDBC is enabled).

  • -DWITH_DOC=bool

    Whether to enable generating the Doxygen documentation. As of Connector/C++ 8.0.16, enabling this option also causes the Doxygen documentation to be built by the all target.

  • -DWITH_JDBC=bool

    Whether to build the legacy JDBC connector. This option is disabled by default. If it is enabled, Connector/C++ 8.0 applications can use the legacy JDBC API, just like Connector/C++ 1.1 applications.

  • -DWITH_LZ4={system|path_name}

    This option specifies which LZ4 installation to use when compiling Connector/C++ with an external dependency. The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system LZ4 location.

    • path_name is the path name to the installation location to use.

    For consistency with CMake conventions, LZ4_DIR or LZ4_ROOT_DIR can be used instead of WITH_LZ4 to indicate the base location of the dependency.

    To imply the WITH_LZ4 option but with more fine-grained specification of installation directories, use LZ4_INCLUDE_DIR or LZ4_LIB_DIR to indicate the header file (or library) location instead of deriving it from the LZ4_ROOT_DIR value. To specify a list of external libraries to link to, use LZ4_LIBRARY instead of the WITH_LZ4 option.

    If you specify both LZ4_LIBRARY and LZ4_LIB_DIR, then LZ4_LIB_DIR is used as an additional prefix when finding the library file and LZ4_LIBRARY should be relative to that prefix. On Windows, LZ4_LIBRARY should point at the import library of the DLL.

  • -DWITH_MYSQL={system|path_name}

    The location where the MySQL sources are installed. The client library is linked statically when you specify this option unless you also request MYSQLCLIENT_STATIC_LINKING=OFF. The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system MYSQL location.

    • path_name is the path name to the installation location to use.

    This option applies only if you are building the legacy JDBC connector (that is, only if WITH_JDBC is enabled).

    For consistency with CMake conventions, MYSQL_DIR or MYSQL_ROOT_DIR can be used instead of WITH_MYSQL to indicate the base location of the dependency.

    To imply the WITH_MYSQL option but with more fine-grained specification of installation directories, use MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR or MYSQL_LIB_DIR to indicate the header file (or library) location instead of deriving it from the MYSQL_ROOT_DIR value. To specify a list of external libraries to link to, use MYSQL_LIBRARY instead of the WITH_MYSQL option.

    If you specify both MYSQL_LIBRARY and MYSQL_LIB_DIR, then MYSQL_LIB_DIR is used as an additional prefix when finding the library file and MYSQL_LIBRARY should be relative to that prefix. On Windows, MYSQL_LIBRARY should point at the import library of the DLL.

  • -DWITH_PROTOBUF={system|path_name}

    This option specifies which Protobuf installation to use when compiling Connector/C++ with an external dependency. Although the library in Connector/C++ binary packages still links in Protobuf statically, using this option makes it possible to build from external sources a variant that links in Protobuf dynamically.

    The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system Protobuf location.

    • path_name is the path name to the installation location to use.

    For consistency with CMake conventions, PROTOBUF_DIR or PROTOBUF_ROOT_DIR can be used instead of WITH_PROTOBUF to indicate the base location of the dependency.

    To imply the WITH_PROTOBUF option but with more fine-grained specification of installation directories, use PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR or PROTOBUF_LIB_DIR to indicate the header file (or library) location instead of deriving it from the PROTOBUF_ROOT_DIR value. To specify a list of external libraries to link to, use PROTOBUF_LIBRARY instead of the WITH_PROTOBUF option.

    If you specify both PROTOBUF_LIBRARY and PROTOBUF_LIB_DIR, then PROTOBUF_LIB_DIR is used as an additional prefix when finding the library file and PROTOBUF_LIBRARY should be relative to that prefix. On Windows, PROTOBUF_LIBRARY should point at the import library of the DLL.

    Similarly, specifying PROTOBUF_BIN_DIR makes it possible to locate the binaries required to use the dependency and find the compiler.

  • -DWITH_SSL={system|path_name}

    This option specifies which SSL library to use when compiling Connector/C++. The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system OpenSSL library.

    • path_name is the path name to the SSL installation to use. It should be the path to the installed OpenSSL library, and must point to a directory containing a lib subdirectory with OpenSSL libraries that are already built. Specifying a path name for the OpenSSL installation can be preferable to using system because it can prevent CMake from detecting and using an older or incorrect OpenSSL version installed on the system.

    For consistency with CMake conventions, SSL_DIR or SSL_ROOT_DIR (OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR) can be used instead of WITH_SSL to indicate the base location of the dependency.

    To imply the WITH_SSL option but with more fine-grained specification of installation directories, use OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR or OPENSSL_LIB_DIR to indicate the header file (or library) location instead of deriving it from the SSL_ROOT_DIR value. To specify a list of external libraries to link to, use SSL_LIBRARY instead of the WITH_SSL option.

    If you specify both SSL_LIBRARY and OPENSSL_LIB_DIR, then OPENSSL_LIB_DIR is used as an additional prefix when finding the library file and SSL_LIBRARY should be relative to that prefix. On Windows, SSL_LIBRARY should point at the import library of the DLL.

  • -DWITH_ZLIB={system|path_name}

    This option specifies which ZLIB installation to use when compiling Connector/C++ with an external dependency. The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system ZLIB location.

    • path_name is the path name to the installation location to use.

    For consistency with CMake conventions, ZLIB_DIR or ZLIB_ROOT_DIR can be used instead of WITH_ZLIB to indicate the base location of the dependency.

    To imply the WITH_ZLIB option but with more fine-grained specification of installation directories, use ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR or ZLIB_LIB_DIR to indicate the header file (or library) location instead of deriving it from the ZLIB_ROOT_DIR value. To specify a list of external libraries to link to, use ZLIB_LIBRARY instead of the WITH_ZLIB option.

    If you specify both ZLIB_LIBRARY and ZLIB_LIB_DIR, then ZLIB_LIB_DIR is used as an additional prefix when finding the library file and ZLIB_LIBRARY should be relative to that prefix. On Windows, ZLIB_LIBRARY should point at the import library of the DLL,

  • -DWITH_ZSTD={system|path_name}

    This option specifies which ZSTD installation to use when compiling Connector/C++ with an external dependency. The option value to use:

    • system: Use the system ZSTD location.

    • path_name is the path name to the installation location to use.

    For consistency with CMake conventions, ZSTD_DIR or ZSTD_ROOT_DIR can be used instead of WITH_ZSTD to indicate the base location of the dependency.

    To imply the WITH_ZSTD option but with more fine-grained specification of installation directories, use ZSTD_INCLUDE_DIR or ZSTD_LIB_DIR to indicate the header file (or library) location instead of deriving it from the ZSTD_ROOT_DIR value. To specify a list of external libraries to link to, use ZSTD_LIBRARY instead of the WITH_ZSTD option.

    If you specify both ZSTD_LIBRARY and ZSTD_LIB_DIR, then ZSTD_LIB_DIR is used as an additional prefix when finding the library file and ZSTD_LIBRARY should be relative to that prefix. On Windows, ZSTD_LIBRARY should point at the import library of the DLL.
