Compiling and linking

We will need a Makefile.am file, which looks almost exactly as in the previous chapter:

pkgplugindir = $(pkglibdir)/plugin
INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/include \
-I$(top_builddir)/include \
-I$(top_srcdir)/sql
noinst_HEADERS = ha_tocab.h
EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES = ha_tocab.la
pkgplugin_LTLIBRARIES= @plugin_tocab_shared_target@
ha_tocab_la_LDFLAGS = -module -rpath $(pkgplugindir)
ha_tocab_la_CXXFLAGS= -DMYSQL_DYNAMIC_PLUGIN
ha_tocab_la_SOURCES = ha_tocab.cc
EXTRA_LIBRARIES = libha_tocab.a
noinst_LIBRARIES = @plugin_tocab_static_target@
libha_tocab_a_SOURCES= ha_tocab.cc
EXTRA_DIST = plug.in

We will also require a plug.in file that has two new lines:

MYSQL_PLUGIN(tocab, [TOCAB Storage Engine],
[Storage Engine that uses Tokyo Cabinet storage library],
[max,max-no-ndb])
MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC(tocab, [libha_tocab.a])
MYSQL_PLUGIN_DYNAMIC(tocab, [ha_tocab.la])
AC_CHECK_HEADER([tctdb.h],,[with_plugin_tocab=no])
AC_CHECK_LIB(tokyocabinet,tcbdbopen,,[with_plugin_tocab=no])

Besides declaring...
