I have downloaded mysql-connector-c-6.0.2. I build it using below commands:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_dir_path>
make
make install

This creates below library files:

libmysqlclient.a  libmysqlclient_r.so  libmysqlclient.so  libmysql.so  libmysql.so.16  libmysql.so.16.0.0

This does not generate libmysqlclient_r.a. How do I enable generation of libmysqlclient_r.a?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Update:

libmysqlclient_r.so is actually a symbolic link to libmysql.so (libmysqlclient_r.so and libmysqlclient.so are both symbolic links to libmysql.so. So they are both same). A static library (libmysql.a) can be produced by removing the SHARED keyword from the following line in libmysql/CMakeLists.txt:

ADD_LIBRARY(libmysql          SHARED ${CLIENT_SOURCES} libmysql.def)

    If it’s not generated, then it’s done by intent by developers.

    Check some build options, maybe there is option to enable static build of libmysqlclient_r. If not – you have to find its target declaration in one of CMakeLists.txt and adjust it to enable static build.
