Does anyone know a simple way to env alias a command like
mysql_config=/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5?
I have a lib I'm porting "libzdb" that uses "mysql_config --libs
$LDFLAGS".
I'm trying to find a way to make this build without patching.
You could prepend ${prefix}/lib/mysql5/bin to the PATH. That's
where the program "mysql_config" lives.
configure.env-append PATH=${prefix}/lib/mysql5/bin:$env(PATH)
The reason it then still doesn't work is because libzdb is calling
mysql_config incorrectly. As you note, it uses "mysql_config --libs
$LDFLAGS". It is not correct to put "$LDFLAGS" at the end of that
command invocation. The correct way to call it is just "mysql_config
--libs". It works for you on the command line because LDFLAGS is
empty by default, but MacPorts fills it with a value, so when run
within MacPorts, it fails. If you look in the config.log, you see
that mysql_config is printing its usage message, showing that the
way it is being used is not correct. Attached is a Portfile and
patch that work for me. You should send the patchfile to the author
of libzdb.
In the Portfile, I also added a dependency on mysql5, and added
configure arguments to disable postgresql and sqlite. If you want to
enable postgresql or sqlite, remove the corresponding configure
argument and add the required dependency.
I had a more complex Portfile which I trimmed down before posting to
make it simple to try.
I guess I'm old school that way.
The patch Portfile attached to your email removed the patch file. I
like it but it didn't work.
If I add the patch and remove the $LDFLAGS in the patch "mysql_config
--libs $LDFLAGS" to "mysql_config --libs" it works.
Thanks a ton.
You are a stud!
