Description Jie Gao 2004-08-05 23:40:25 UTC 
	
This is a new port: databases/mysqlcppapi

mysqlcppapi is a C++ wrapper for the MySQL C API library.

It is a branch of the MySql++ project, but it has diverged significantly for
the following reasons:

* MySQL++ is aggressively optimised for speed, but optimisation should happen
  after the design is mature, and that optimisation should be targeted.
  Premature optimisation obscures the design and prevents it from improving.
* MySQL++ provides too many ways to do things instead of deciding on an
  interface. Again, this obscures the design.
* MySQL++ uses preprocessor macros to an extent that is unacceptable in a C++
  library.

WWW: http://mysqlcppapi.sourceforge.net

This package uses better C++ codes than mysql++. It compiles without problem
on CURRENT with gcc-3.4.2 (while mysql++ is currently broken with gcc-3.4).

Fix: The following script creates the port skeleton directory. My work in the port
includes:

1. Fix new mysql_shutdown() api problem.
2. pkgconfig specifications to libdata
3. Avoid things like libmysqlcppapi-1.9-1.9 and mysqlcppapi-2.0/mysqlcppapi/
4. Remove pointless -I... and -L... flags in pkgconfig specification
