modifying bitcoind to include mysql support

Question

I am modifying bitcoind (working with 0.13.1) to include write the log to mysql db versus the log file. I have all the functions worked out and compiling outside of bitcoind

The trouble I ran into is when trying to compile it all with bitcoind.
i added my new file (.cpp and .h) into the makefile and linked -lmysqlclient, but im getting
undefined reference to 'mysql_init'

any pointers would be appreciated

Answer 1

adding -lmysqlclient under LIBS in configure.ac did the trick
the new line reads as follows:

LIBS="$LIBS_TEMP -lmysqlclient"
