Answer 1

For uses of Netbeans on Linux

Open you make file (MakeFile) and add the following lines

# These are the flags that gcc requires in order to link correctly against our installed 
# client packages
MYSQL_LIBS := $(shell mysql_config --libs)

right below the Environment block.

Then right click on your project node , select Properties, Build and add $(MYSQL_LIBS) to the Additional options parameter.
