Hi all, I used to be able to build a functional mysql connector on MacOSX by using the build switch :
--enable-ext-mariadb-connector However, the inclusion of a build-time downloaded libmariadb library was stopped after this caused crashes on Window If you run the above switch now on OSX, you get the following message : libmariadb is known to be broken as of 2013-10; use libmysqlclient and configure stops without completing. So the million dollar question now is : which switch is to be used now ? On my Linux systems, I don't seem to have any problem building the connector extension, I imagine because libmysqlclient is included on the machines in question (because I'm running mysql client and server), along with libmysqlcppconn. However, on Mac OSX, these are not included by default. I have downloaded the MySQL C connector library source, and also have a copy of libmysqlcppconn for OSX, but how do I tell autogen.sh to use them ? I have tried using : --with-system-mysql-cppconn=/path/to/lib/ and removing the --enable-ext-mariadb-connector but if I do this, the connector fails to get built. I see a mysql connector directory in the extensions directory, but it doesn't contain any of the libs and isn't assembled into an OXT, unlike say, NLPSolver. I suspect this is due to the externalisation of these extensions.
