Specify MYSQLCLIENT_CFLAGS and MYSQLCLIENT_LDFLAGS env vars manually

specify the MYSQLCLIENT_CFLAGS and MYSQLCLIENT_LDFLAGS environment variables manually, follow the steps below:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Determine the location of the MySQL header files and libraries. These locations may vary depending on your MySQL installation. You can use the `mysql_config` command to retrieve this information. Run the following command to find the location of the header files: ``` mysql_config --cflags ``` Run the following command to find the location of the libraries: ``` mysql_config --libs ``` Note down the output of these commands, as you will need them in the next steps.

3. Set the MYSQLCLIENT_CFLAGS environment variable. Replace `` with the path you obtained from the `mysql_config --cflags` command. Run the following command: ``` export MYSQLCLIENT_CFLAGS="-I" ```

4. Set the MYSQLCLIENT_LDFLAGS environment variable. Replace `` with the path you obtained from the `mysql_config --libs` command. Run the following command: ``` export MYSQLCLIENT_LDFLAGS="-L" ``` Note: If your MySQL installation includes multiple libraries, separate each library path with a space.

5. Now, when you install packages that require the MySQL client library, such as `mysqlclient` for Django, the build process will use the specified CFLAGS and LDFLAGS values to locate the necessary files. You can proceed with your package installation or Django setup, and the specified environment variables will be used to locate the MySQL client libraries.

By manually setting the MYSQLCLIENT_CFLAGS and MYSQLCLIENT_LDFLAGS environment variables, you can ensure that the correct MySQL header files and libraries are used during the installation or compilation process.
