Hi, folks! I'm one of the authors of the Nginx Drizzle module that makes Nginx talk nonblockingly to MySQL/Drizzle backends via libdrizzle 1.0:
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpDrizzleModule Quite a few big companies here in China have been using this Nginx module quite extensively in production for months already. And it won't be possible without the excellent libdrizzle client. But recently, however, a lot of our users have been complaining about the pains involved in building libdrizzle 1.0 with the recent releases of Drizzle7 though. Older versions of drizzle7 released months ago did support building libdrizzle 1.0 like this: ./configure --without-server make libdrizzle-1.0 make install-libdrizzle-1.0 But it no longer works in recent releases of drizzle7. And now it seems to be required to build everything including the server, and requiring all those dependencies like a very new version of boost and protobuf that libdrizzle 1.0 does not need at all. In fact, most of our users are only using libdrizzle 1.0 to connect to an official MySQL server and do not want to bother building the drizzle server. We're really missing the good old time when libdrizzle is painless to set up in a moderate production system. I wonder if the drizzle development team is willing to add back support for building libdrizzle 1.0 separately and skip all those weird dependency checks in the ./configure script. If yes, then it'll be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this mail and thank you all for creating this wonderful library in the first place!
