[libreoffice-users] MySQL Native Connector for 32 bit LibreOffice on Ubuntu 12.04

     I have a 32 bit laptop running Ubuntu 12.04. On it I have 
installed LO 3.6.5.2 and 4.0.0.3.
     This evening I was going to built LO 4.0.0 with the native 
connector for MySQL. In the process I had to download some files needed 
for autogen.sh to work properly. Among these are two groups.
     These were the ones that autogen.sh had to have before it stopped 
with an error message at line 201: libgnomevfs2-common, 
libgnomevfs2-bin, libgnomevfs2-0, libgnomevfs2-dev, libgnomevfs2-extra, 
libgnomevfs2-0-dbg.
     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. (It should 
have also had an option containing the path to the external mysql 
connector.) So, it ignored the first option I gave it.
     Since then, I have installed the MySQL Native Connector that I had 
downloaded from AOO a couple of months ago. I did this to both LO 
3.6.5.2 and 4.0.0.3. I have a Base file which I use to connect to my 
MySQL server using the native connector. Now I can access MySQL using 
this file with both 3.6.5.2 and 4.0.0.3.
     So the reason for this email including the QA people is that I 
would like a simple test done by someone with a 32 bit Debian system and 
MySQL server. Please install the AOO MySQL native connector. Also 
install these two files: libmysqlclient18 and libmysqlcppconn5. With 
these installed, can you connect to MySQL? If so, part of our problem is 
solved.
     Tomorrow, I am going to run autogen.sh with the three needed 
options. Hopefully, I will build a native connector for LibreOffice.
