Build C++ app in CLion for Linux (including a MySQL application)

How to build a C++ application, using MySQL and deploy on Linux.

In this case, we are using Debian 10 (also works on Slackware 14.2)

We are building an application (example can be found here, albeit slightly modified but importantly includes mysql.h). Also on GitHub here 

MySQL install on Debian & solution to mysql-config not found.

To install mysql server on Debian

apt-get install mariadb-server

To start, run;

service mysql start

I also found mysql_config not to be found on Debian 10

likely due to the development stuff not being installed as I could also not find /usr/include/mysql

so, installing and resolving is as follows;

sudo apt-get install libmariadb-dev-compat

also worthwhile maybe;

alp-get install libmysqlcppconn-dev

apt-get install libmysql++

GitHub - Pushing to remote is rejected as a result of email address being exposed

Problem with PyCharm & Clion and gitHub on Mac specifically…

Also found on Debian, probably affects all applications pushing to GitHub

Pushing to remote is rejected as a result of email address being exposed.

Check;

git config --global user.email

If this shows email address, change is as per below;

git config --global user.email “plisken1@users.noreply.github.com”
