Hi.

I was just considering linking mysqlpp statically in my recent project. The=
=20
reason why I'm thinking about this, is because I'd like my project to be=20
portabel to other machines (i.e. our compute cluster) without having to=20
recompile and drag the libraries along.

Would that be a wise thing to do?

Is there a simple option to configure/make the mysqlpp libraries statically=
=2E=20
(As far I understand I just get a dynamic library after compiling mysqlpp)?

Do I violate the GPL in any way by doing so (w/o publishing my project)?

Is this the wrong forum to ask such stuff and/or did I oversee former threa=
ds=20
discussing this topic?

thanks

Vincent David

Your program would fall under the LGPL due to MySQL++, and under GPL due
to the MySQL C API. The GPL says that if you distribute the binary, you
must also distribute the source code to anyone who received the binary.
It's my sense that if the binary is distributed within your
organization, that stricture does not apply, because the organization
does have the source code.

But why are you asking for legal advice from a bunch of programmers?
Ask your organization's legal department if you want an answer you can
trust.
