The distro provided version of the native connector for Linux Mint 18.2 only works with 5.1.6.x I believe ? Of course, there is no native connector for any of the snap/PPA versions of LibreOffice nor I suppose for the 5.4.x version of LibreOffice from the TDF download site. The only place to find such a native connector would be the extensions website...

These unfortunately are a pain in the backside when building LO on Ubuntu based distros, especially if you are not using Gnome as the desktop UI, but they have nothing to do with the connector itself. This gnomevfs lark is a problem with the build-deps not pulling in the required libraries, for whatever reason, I haven't managed to fathom that out. Prior to downloading the master build, I installed two files that Alex Thurgood suggested: libmysqlclient18 and libmysqlcppconn5 using synaptic. I also noticed these files were available: libmysqlclient-dev and libmysqlcppconn-dev. So I installed these also. I had run autogen.sh a couple of times with an error stopping it at line 201. The error led me to the first group of files which I also installed using synaptic. Then I ran (at Alex' suggestion): autogen.sh --with-ext-mysql-connector --with-system-mysql.

You shouldn't neeed to point to the mysql dev libraries if you have the client and source installed on your system. I only use the --with-libmysql-path option when building on Mac OSX, as the headers for MySQL are not included in a default OSX installation.

Hi Tom, I would not advise attempting to build it on XP or anything Windows unless you really know what you are doing. Building on Linux is far easier on the whole, as everything is more or less either pre-installed, or easy to add in the right place via the package management system. Virtually anything based on Ubuntu 12.04 works, not sure about 10.04 though, as that is getting on a bit now and some of the library versions will probably be too old.

Building on Linux is far easier on the whole, as everything is more or less either pre-installed, or easy to add in the right place via the package management system. Virtually anything based on Ubuntu 12.04 works, not sure about 10.04 though, as that is getting on a bit now and some of the library versions will probably be too old.

I really don't know, but I'm hasarding a guess that they are fairly generic - however, each distrib currently packages its own version of the connector extension to accompany any given release of their own version of LibO. What is certain is that if you want a 32bit connector, you have to build with the 32bit mysql connector C library, and if you want 64bit, well...the corresponding bit library for that.

LO 3.4.3. Same results with LO 3.3.4. Well thanks for testing anyway. Note that my profile path for LO 3.4.3 is: ~/.libreoffice.3.4/3 However the connector is attmepting to install into: ~/.libreoffice/3/user/uno_packages rather than using the modified data in bootstraprc. Just to ensure that my path settings for LO 3.4.3 (I do this on purpose so that I can run multiple instances of LO) wasn't the issue, I then attempted to install on 3.3.4, where my profile path is the standard: ~/.libreoffice/3/user Same results. So it's not a profile path issue. Hmmm, interesting. Added note: the OOo mysql native connector is 4.1MB and yours is 375.6KB. That's quite a difference: $ ls -l mysql* . 4285738 2011-09-20 09:19 mysql-connector-ooo-1.0.1-linux-intel.oxt . 384635 2011-09-22 10:02 mysql-native-connector-1.0.1-linux-32bit.oxt Yes, the Mac one I built is over 1Mb too, I noticed how small the Linux one was when I copied it over. I didn't seem to get any errors though when building. Interestingly, the Ubuntu OOo version (OOo 3.2.1 - go-oo build) is 207.5KB: $ ls -l /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt . 212436 2011-01-28 23:56 /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt So the answer may well lie in the specificity of the build environment because this connector appears to work on the machine I built it on in the master build, i.e. the future 3.5 code. Perhaps, it is necessary to build with the 3.4 build source in order to adapt it to that particular set of code ?? Or then again, perhaps your Maverick and my Natty have other differences that mean that it doesn't work. I really don't know enough about it to say, unfortunately and I won't be able to setup a new build with 3.4 source soon, at least probably not until next week.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector
Hello Alex, Thanks for the advice! To start with, I am VERY busy (outside IT!) for the coming week, so I simply won't have the time to do anything in this respect at the moment. The funny thing is that on my W/Vista-LO 3.3.4 System that connects to a MySQL database server running on my GNU-Linux-Debian-Wheezy system - the native connector works like a dream. Therefore I do most serious work with the database on the Windows system at present.

If you look at the OOo extension site, the MySQL native connector extension was provided in the following flavours : http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/mysql_connector Linux (32bit) Linux x86_64 Mac OS X (32bit only) Solaris Sparc Solaris x86 Windows (I assume only 32bit, but who knows ?) So, one would need to build for these arch/OSes and also Win64.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector
Hi Drew, As I mentioned before -- the problem is that activating the native MySQL connector after making the correct selection for the odb-file doesn't work, at least not on my Debian Wheezy system. I keep getting the error message ... no SDBC driver found for the URL. Maybe the connector has to be re-built for LO 3.4?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector
Hi :) It might be a good idea to plan a move from MySql to MariaDb. MariaDb is a drop-in replacement for MySql. MariaDb is much faster at developing and bug-fixing so a bug-report to them might get a faster response and they might well be happy to work on a project such as the extension/add-on. It's almost all the MySql people except the ones paid by Oracle.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector
Hello Andreas, Thanks for your hint, but... Weird! One can in fact select MySQL as the (native) type of connection for an odb-file. However when one then tries to open the odb-file, LO displays a list-box for the specification of a programme with which to open the odb-file. Downloading the connector and then trying to activate the connector through the extension manager doesn't work either.
