mysql-connector-c++-mysqlclient_r.patch

mysql-workbench has been stuck on an old version of mysql-connector-c++ because newer versions would not work correctly as they would try to load the obsolete libmysqlclient_r library. This version no longer exists in newer versions of mysql-connector-c. It turns out that mysql-connector-c++ has hard-coded references to this library but since we don't install compatibility symlinks this hardcoded reference will fail.

With the attached patch mysql-workbench no longer fails to connect to databases when using mysql-connector-c++.

    dev-db/mysql-connector-c++: fix loading libmysqlclient.so
    
    mysql-workbench would fail with mysql-connector-c++ 8.x because it
    would try to load the obsolete libmysqlclient_r library. This version
    no longer exists in newer versions of mysql-connector-c. It turns out
    that mysql-connector-c++ has hard-coded references to this library
    but since we don't install compatibility symlinks this hardcoded
    reference will fail.
