MySQL Connector/C++ is a fairly new JDBC 4.0 API implementation in C++. Licensed under GPLv2. See URL for more information. MySQL Connector/C++ v1.0.6 will be a dependency for OpenOffice.org. http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=OOO310/mysqlnative Therefore my report. I am going to attach an ebuild for RFC. :)
Created attachment 202393 [details] dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-1.0.6_pre754 ... from debian archive.
There will be a bump to revision 768 with test code and icu dependency removed. Just waiting for the tarball on debian archive.
Created attachment 202580 [details] dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-1.0.6_pre768 Since one cannot add optional cmake flags I have to patch the examples build. Instead of 06_disable_examples_build.diff I would prefer to add '-DMYSQLCPPCONN_BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=0' to the cmake command.

Created attachment 207072 [details] dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0_pre786 dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0_pre786 - add openssl dependency - add debug and gcov USEflag - upstream cleaned up :) I wonder about gcov USEflag. And this piece of '$(use USEflag && echo 1 || echo 0)'. use_enable and use_with fail. :) Any better idea?
Created attachment 207074 [details] dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0_pre786 added use_cmake helper function.

InCVS now. I had to clean up the libdir stuff more. Also used the patches straight from Debian, instead of having a duplicate copy. Are you interested in being a proxy maintainer for this package?
Sure, why not. I test it with openoffice anyway. One question I have, though. How does portage handle a debug build? My experience is that, although one enables the useflag [debug], portage strips the debug symbols from the resulting binaries and libraries. That should not be, should it?! Hard to debug then... Therefore I use 'RESTRICT="debug? ( strip )"' to have the debug symbols in the binaries and libraries.
USE=debug does not mean debug symbols. It means additional debugging code. # FEATURES=splitdebug CFLAGS='... -g ...' emerge CAT/PN will give you the debug data split off from the binaries, per the ELF debuglink spec. Alternatively, if you the monolith binaries with debug: FEATURES='-splitdebug nostrip -strip' ...
Hanno Meyer-Thurow @16 FEATURES="nostrip splitdebug" maybe "installsources" http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml man make.conf
@Robin & @Francesco Thanks, I added that to /etc/portage/bashrc successfully. marked as verified.
Finally got to test this package from portage. I wonder if you want to apply debians patch 04_libmysqlclient_SONAME.dpatch. That hardwires mysql-5.1 afais. So the ebuild may depend on '=virtual/mysql-5.1' instead. Or do mysql 5.4 and 6.0 have libmysqlclient_r.so.16, too?
Another thing I wonder about is the useflag [static] versus [static-libs]. Looking at my world set it seems that programs use [static] and libraries, which dev-db/mysql-connector-c++ is, use [static-libs]. Whoever introduced the latter one ...
