Since the Windows authentication support has been added to libmysql, this library depends on the system Secur32 library. Consequently, clients which are linked against libmysql should be also linked with Secur32 (in addition to ws2_32).
In MS VC++ it is possible to embed information about required libraries into object file using #pragma directive. This patch adds such directive when the Windows authentiaction support is compiled. This is similar to analogous #pragma for ws2_32 library in my_init.c
into the server repository
This patch adds client windows authentication plugin code to the client
library libmysql (only on Windows platform). The plugin is compiled into
the library and added to the list of built-in plugins. This way clients
should be able to connect to a server which uses windows authentication
plugin even as an SQL user which uses such authentication.
Note: this makes the client library to depend on Secur32 Windows system
library. When building clients, they must be linked against Secur32.
Command mysql_config --libs correctly lists Secur32 as a required
dependency.
