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.
