still true :

dev-db/mysql++-3.3.0 - checking for MySQL include directory... configure: error: Didnt find the MySQL include dir in .../mysql /in @ 17.1_desktop-20230615-074226

[Comment 9 Tupone Alfredo 2025-01-25 20:48:34 UTC]

The problem here is that 

src_configure()

uses mysql_config, that is provided by dev-db/mysql-connector-c

dev-db/mariadb-connector-c provides instead mariadb_config
