Starting from version 3.0.7, libmnogosearch is available for use in your own applications. You can easily embed search features into your own application using the library and the include files installed in /lib and /include mnoGoSearch's directories. Every source file that uses libmnogosearch function calls should include udmsearch.h header file.
When compiled with one of the supported SQL back-end, libmnogosearch requires some dependent libraries, for example libmysqlclient. You can find the udm-config script in the /bin directory of mnoGoSearch's installation. This script helps taking required dependencies into account. The udm-config script can take several options in its command line. By default udm-config outputs all available options:
Usage: ./udm-config [OPTIONS]
Options:
[--version]
[--libs]
[--cflags]
When executed with --libs
command line option, udm-config outputs everything needed to libmnogosearch
linker flags, for example:
# ./udm-config --libs -lm -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient \ -L/usr/local/mnogosearch/lib -lmnogosearch
So you can insert udm-config --libs into the CC compiler command line:
cc myprog.c -o myprog `udm-config --libs`
A detailed description of the mnoGoSearch C API is given in Reference II, mnoGoSearch C API function reference. You can also use search.c for additional examples of libmnogosearch functions calls.
