MySQLHello

Starter code for a modern c++ sql application.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

• ISO C++17 Compiler (tested with clang 6.0)
• premake5

To obtain clang 6.0:

Getting clang 6.0 for OSX.

$ brew install --with-toolchain llvm

It may be worth running the following command first if you already have an existing homebrew installation:

$ brew info llvm Seeing not seeing llvm v6.0 listed? I recommend updating homebrew

To update homebrew, simply run:

$ brew update $ brew upgrade

$ brew info llvm will show path so that you can put clang 6.0 at the front of the search path

Installing on Ubuntu

Please follow tutorial here (https://www.linuxhelp.com/how-to-install-llvm-6-on-ubuntu-17-04/).
Be sure to update your path to find clang.

The example itself runs against a table created like so:

CREATE TABLE {tablename} ( id smallint unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(20) not null, constraint pk_example primary key (id) );

With rows inserted like so:

INSERT INTO example ( id, name ) VALUES ( null, 'Sample data' );

Installing

If you are using visual code, there is visual code configuration in the workspace, just open MySQLHello.code-workspace. You may need to change the path of the compiler in c_cpp_properties.json depending on where you installed clang 6.

You may need to change includedirs and libdirs in premake5.lua depending on where the mysql development libraries were installed.

In order to create the makefiles, you need to run premake5 at least once (you will need to rerun anytime premake5.lua is altered).

If you are using the command line (i.e. not using VSCode):

To run premake5 (assuming it is on the path):

cd {install location}
premake5 gmake

then, to invoke make:

make

Built With
