If the mysql client libraries are present on the system, then support for
mysql will be included at compile time.
However, freeradius is not configured to use any database by default, you
have to tell it to do so.

This only includes the sql module configuration, it doesn't tell freeradius
to actually use it.

You could edit src/raddb/sql.conf before compiling, but I wouldn't recommend
doing that.
After compilation, you need to edit:
- etc/raddb/sql.conf => database configuration
- etc/radiusd.conf => tell freeradius to use the sql module
