Hi
The only program that uses mysql-connector-c++ I know of is
mysql-workbench [1], but that's a bit bloated to build only to test if
connector-c++ is working correctly (and I don't know which parts of
workbench use it, so that's rather uncertain).
I cannot build the ctemplate package because I've no access to the
Google Code SVN repository here, therefore I'm unable to check the
mysql-connector-c++ package using mysql-workbench.
I think the best you can do is test the examples in examples/ of
mysql-connector-c++.
I built the example source using:
g++ -o prepared_statement -Wl,-Bdynamic -lmysqlcppconn \
-I ~/mysql-connector-c++/src/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.4/ \
prepared_statement.cpp
The results of the command is exactly the same [1] rebuilding the
prepared_statement against libmariadbclient or libmysqlclient packages
with any of the following patches.
The package libmysqlclient provides a mysql_config command which *HAS*
the --cxxflags option.
The package libmariadbclient provides a mysql_config command which *HAS
NOT* the --cxxflags option.
When the package mysql-connection-c++ is built against the
libmariasqlclient it cannot get the build flags because it uses the
missing --cxxflags option and then fallbacks to --cflags.
When the package mysql-connection-c++ is built against the
libmysqlclient it receives the build flags using the --cxxflags option
and then builds the software including the -fno-rtti option.
There are two different ways to fix the issue with the
mysql-connector-c++ package:
a) remove the -fno-rtti option from the cxxflags offered by
mysql_config, see [2]
b) fix the broken FindMySQL.cmake source which assumes that since the
version 5.6.3 MySQL is *ALWAYS* built with the MYSQL_CXX_LINKAGE option
set when cmake is run but it doesn't make anything to solve if the
no-rtti flag was used. See [3] how to honor the MYSQL_CXX_LINKAGE
option.
The latter patch allows you to build your package with
-DMYSQL_CXX_LINKAGE set to 0 (to disable the use of cxxflags) or to 1 to
use the cxxflags. Without this patch the option MYSQL_CXX_LINKAGE is
ignored at all since MySQL 5.6.3.
Please update your PKGBUILD accordingly to these suggestions.
I don't plan to change the build process in a way too much different
from the libmariadbclient build process, therefore I will not remove the
no-rtti flag until I can find a valid reason to do that.
