Hi, I just tried to build amarok from the v2.4.3 tag from git and it failed !!!! ;-) I tries to link against -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqld, but there is no libmysqld.so (probably because the development package is not installed). The problem is in FindMySqlAmarok.cmake. If mysql_config is found, it is queried for the flags necessary for linking (mysql_config --libmysqld-lib), and its output is simply put into the MYSQL_EMBEDDED_LIBRARIES variable. I think here goes the same as with pkg-config: never use the output from such tools directly, but always double check, i.e. if it says "mysqld" is in /usr/lib/mysql/, do a find_library(MYSQL_LIBRARY NAMES mysqld HINTS /usr/lib/mysqld) and use what you get from that. This way, cmake will always have to deal with full paths to libraries, and can takle care that everything will link properly. Can you please have a look at that file (FindMySqlAmarok.cmake) ? Thanks Alex P.S. this is slightly related to the current question how to handle pkg-config under Windows and/or in general, so I'm putting kde-buildsystem on CC. -- Mark Kretschmann Amarok Developer, Senior Software Engineer at Nokia Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe http://amarok.kde.org - http://fsfe.org - http://nokia.com _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
