Bug 682020 – www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.53 and dev-db/mariadb-10.2 should depend on dev-db/mariadb-connector-c

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description nic 2019-03-29 15:11:10 UTC]

www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.53 fails to compile with dev-db/mariadb-10.2.22-r1,


 /bin/sh ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc   -O2 -pipe -Wall -W -Wshadow -pedantic -module -export-dynamic -avoid-version -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -o mod_vhostdb_mysql.la -rpath /usr/lib64/lighttpd mod_vhostdb_mysql_la-mod_vhostdb_mysql.lo -lmariadb -lpthread -lz -ldl -lm -lssl -lcrypto
 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lmariadb
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
 make[3]: *** [Makefile:1924: mod_mysql_vhost.la] Error 1



Package should depend on dev-db/mariadb-connector-c if mariadb >= 10.2 to provide the required mariadb_config

note that lighttpd-1.4.51 complies fine with mariadb-10.2 -- lighttpd made changes with the 1.4.53 release https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2925


Thank you

Here's the problem with depending on mariadb-connector-c and this package.. it provides libmariadb.pc while dev-db/mariadb provides mariadb.pc which is what the package is looking for.

If the dependency change is made, the autotools will need to look for libmariadb.pc instead to be consistent.

The other option is for mariadb to not install a mariadb.pc file but don't know what kind of headaches will come in the future.

As of lighttpd-1.4.58, via commit https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/6ce9a250, we now pull in database support via libdbi, which depends on dev-db/mariadb-connector-c, so this bug is addressed by the version bump.
