Mysql 5.6.12 and mysql2 ruby gem 0.3.12
I recently updated my Homebrew install and installed the latest mysql (brew update && brew upgrade mysql) to 5.6.12.
However, when I tried to upgrade my mysql2 gem from 0.3.11 to 0.3.12, I was getting the following error:
[shell]
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.3.12), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v ‘0.3.12’` succeeds before bundling.

After some googling and stack overflow answers that didn’t help, I ran across #20788, which referenced 9dd1c38 as a possible fix.
It appears that mysql 5.6.12 has an issue (69645) with compiler flags that won’t work on OS X. The fix was to edit the mysql_config file (Around line 119) and remove the -W :
[ruby]
cflags="-I$pkgincludedir -Wall -Wno-null-conversion -Wno-unused-private-field -Os -g -fno-strict-aliasing -DDBUG_OFF " #note: end space!
4:31
cxxflags="-I$pkgincludedir -Wall -Wno-null-conversion -Wno-unused-private-field -Os -g -fno-strict-aliasing -DDBUG_OFF " #note: end space!
[/ruby]
becomes
[ruby]
cflags="-I$pkgincludedir -Wall -Os -g -fno-strict-aliasing -DDBUG_OFF " #note: end space!
cxxflags="-I$pkgincludedir -Wall -Os -g -fno-strict-aliasing -DDBUG_OFF " #note: end space!
[/ruby]
After this change I was able to install the mysql2 0.3.12 rubygem without issue.
