I *thought* that was what USE_MYSQL meant. The CONFIGURE_ARGS I'm using are
for barnyard. It then looks for the mysql header file, which it should find if
mysql is installed. USE_MYSQL=yes means (if I understand the bsd.database.mk
file)
BUILD_DEPENDS+=
${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql/libmysqld.a:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql${MYSQL_VER}-client
(see lines 142ff in bsd.database.mk.)
If I can build barnyard-sguil (and really barnyard since the former is a slave
port) by selecting that OPTION *and* the OPTION Is preselected, why does the
build fail when run on tinderbox? Unless I'm totally misunderstanding what
USE_MYSQL means, the BUILD_DEPENDS is included if mysql is selected. Adding
CONFIGURE_ARGS for includes and libraries should only be necessary if those are
in a non-standard location *or* the software simply refuses to build without
specifying them. It does not.
Again, I'm confused. I don't understand why the build fails in tinderbox.
Hopefully someone with knowledge of that process can point out the error of my
ways.
