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.
Forwarded a fix upstream for the autoconf script. Removed has_version for now.
gpsdrive-1.32 now builds in support for mysql automatically, w/o needing any seperately installed libs or anything. marking this fixed
