Outstanding. Thanks for including the clue on the default root password error. A practically effortless install. You rock!

One more thing. There is test/ directory with a static_test.cpp . When it gets built one can use it to verify whether the Connector has problems. Default values are 127.0.0.1:3306 root/root . If you need other values pass them in the same order to the binary
> ./static_test 192.168.0.100 3305 root pwd

CMake either needs MYSQL_DIR, which is actually for Windows, where there is no mysql_config, or just pass
-D MYSQL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/mysql_config

If MYSQL_DIR is there or in the ENV it will be used to find mysql_config.

GLIB is not hard-requirement. If there it will be used for building a component called driver manager, which, however, we don’t use. It can be used if there are more than one drivers, for example a PGSQL Driver. Then one uses the DriverManager and glib loads the dll that contains the driver. glib is used for platform-agnostic loading of dll/so. We compile on (Open)Solaris without GLIB and everything runs fine. If GLIB is not present CMake won’t configure the driver manager.
