hey jrray,
as pre the comment i'd had in the ebuild, the use of `use_enable mysql` doesn't
work, because the configure script interprets --enable-mysql as --disable-mysql.
i don't think this is a quirk from just my machine...
-----snippet of configure script------
disablesql=false
if test "${enable_mysql+set}" = set; then
enableval="$enable_mysql"
echo "disable mysql support"
disablesql=true
fi;
SAVELIBS="$LIBS"
SAVECFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
if test "$disablesql" = "true";then
CFLAGS="$SAVECFLAGS"
LIBS="$SAVELIBS"
XLIBS="$SAVELIBS"
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** MySQL support disabled by user option
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------" >
--snippet of configure script ------
either need to use
use mysql || myconf="${myconf} --disable-mysql"
or we can hack the configure script. the first option seems easier.
