Does anybody know where to get a MySQL libraries compiled for the arm iPhone architecture?

Here’s how I did it:
1) Download the source code version of Connector/C from MySQL
2) Download cmake (if you have macports installed, type “sudo port install cmake”)
3) Get toolchain files from http://sites.google.com/site/michaelsafyan/coding/resources/how-to-guides/cross-compile-for-the-iphone/how-to-cross-compile-for-the-iphone-using-cmake
4) In the toolchain file for the simulator, remove one architecture from the line containing CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES
5) If you want to build for the simulator, copy the missing headers in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.2.sdk/usr/include/netinet/ (ip.h and in_system.h) from /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.2.sdk/usr/include/netinet
6) Create a directory called “compiled_library” somewhere, eg on your Desktop
7) Call cmake like this:
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/iphone-toolchain-file -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/compiled_library -DHAVE_FDATASYNC:INTERNAL=0
8) Note that if you want to run cmake a 2nd time, you might have to delete the cache file first
9) type make install
10) Now you have the compiled library in /path/to/compiled_library. Copy the header file directory and libmysql.a to your xcode project via “Add existing files…”. The library should be automtically added to the linker stage.
11) WOOHOO. Use the mysql C API.
12) If this is too much work, I’m currently writing a MySQL wrapper framework for the iPhone. I will publish it sometime in the next ten years and put a link here.
EDIT:
Someone else created an Objective C Wrapper for the MySQL client library: http://www.karlkraft.com/index.php/2010/09/17/mysql-for-iphone-and-osx/
