I tried to write the patch in an upstreamable way. I think that it should help other cross distributions as well. For instance, yocto carries http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-extended/rsyslog/rsyslog/use-pkgconfig-to-check-libgcrypt.patch?h=master for avoiding libgcrypt-config. This patch could also be upstreamed by trying pkg-config before libgcrypt-config. ptxdist simply disabled mysql integration. > @Helmut: Is that mysqlclient.pc file provided via a Debian specific patch? Prior to the mariadb fork, the standard mysql client library provided this .pc file. As far as I understand, it is now provided by mariadb as a compatibility symlink much in the same way as it provides mysql_config as a compatibility symlink. I think it is pretty safe to assume its presence, but we can extend the patch to explicitly check for mariadb.pc if that is preferred. I don't expect mysqlclient.pc (or mysql_config) to go away anytime soon due to its widespread usage. Helmut
