The mysql derivation builds it's libraries in
...mysql-5.0.77/lib/mysql
rather than in
...mysql-5.0.77/lib
This means that when I set mysql as a build input the NIX_LDFLAGS gets a
-L...mysql-5.0.77/lib and thus cannot find the libraries which are
actually located in -L...mysql-5.0.77/lib/mysql
My workaround is to export LDFLAGS="${mysql}/lib/mysql" in my preconfigure
phase. This is the same thing that the opendbx derivation does. This
works, but it is kinda a pain. For example propagateBuildInputs =
[mysql]; won't really do anything useful.
Wouldn't it be better if we had mysql build its libs into the $out/lib/
directory instead of the $out/lib/mysql/ directory?
