Hi Tom,
Apparently it also doesn't work on Macs although i'm entirely certain how far
that goes. For example could Base as a front-end on a Mac read MariaDb as a
back-end on a Debian server. Presumably it does but i don't know of anyone
that has tried it.
Last time I looked, the mariadb server and client programs and libraries
were only available via the ports installation system. This is a no go
area for me on my OSX server, which is the machine I was using to build
LO and the native mysql connector. The ports system on my Macbook
screwed up the LO build by installing libraries that conflict with the
ones used by the LO build process, so I stopped using my Macbook for
building LO ages ago.
As far as I know, there are no pre-compiled MariaDB binaries for OSX.
Irrespective of the above, the changes being made in the mysql connector
code should allow the connector to be built on all platforms where LO
can be built, even if libmariadb is not already present. If the builder
wants to use a system-present libmariadb, then there is also a compile
time option to enable that. Otherwise, the aim is for the libmariadb
source code to be downloaded at compile time. This currently works on
Linux (from my build log on a 32bit OS), but I am still awaiting the
results of test compilations on my OSX server.
