Hi,
I work on plug-ins for MySQL and building a plug-in out side of the MySQL
tree requires that you configure your build with the same compiler settings
as the MySQL build that you are targeting.
If there's such a close dependency (which I find surprising - there are
C API's like for shared libraries that only depend on matching 32- or
64-bit!), the better solution would be to have a location in the MySQL
source tree where you can put your plugin code (as a subdirectory, here
named "barry"). Then provide an option to MySQL's configure like
"--with-plugin=barry". This should then configure your plugin from the
MySQL configure script, and you can build it afterwards.
Your current approach is very fragile, and I would not invest effort in
it. Of course, my proposal requires changes in MySQL; but after all,
it's open source...
