MySQL++

Hello,
I am trying to install the 3.2.4 version on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS after having installed mysql Ver 8.0.16.
After unpackaging the tarball and run ./configure all seems to be fine but running make for compiling gets this error message

./lib/options.cpp:72:20: error: ‘MYSQL_OPT_GUESS_CONNECTION’ was not declared in this scope

Makefile:666: recipe for target 'mysqlpp_options.o' failed

I've seen a similar issue among other tickets for version 3.2.3 but I'm not sure if the proposed solution would be effective.

Thanks!
