Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector

Hi :)
So, it's a race between you and Heinrich then :)  I like the idea of different people contributing 
builds as the need arises.  More a community effort and it spreads the knowledge a bit.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, the build produces an OXT file, that is all one needs. You have to
hunt around for it a bit, what with the convoluted build and deliver
process that the build goes through, but it can be found when all is
said and done. One thing I do not know yet is whether or not the
absolute path to the library has to be give at configure time (using
autogen.sh). Certainly this was the case for Mac, but I am
assuming/hoping that this is not required for Linux (however, I could be
wrong).

Be aware that building the connector requires extra switches to be
activated at configure time when you use ./autogen/sh. These switches
are the following :

--enable-ext-mysql-connector
--with-libmysql-path="/Users/alex/DevHack/mysql-connector-c-6.0.2osx10.5-x86-32bit"

Like I said, the second switch may well be optional on Linux, but I had
to specify it when building the connector on Mac.


I am currently trying to just build a working LibreOffice installation
set on a *buntu box I happen to have laying around, so I will rebuild
with the corresponding connector switch option once/if that completes.
If I then manage to get something out of it, I'll put it up on the
Extensions site next to the Mac connector.
