Since Dovecot doesn't use threads, why do you want to link with mysqlclient_r then? > > > setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/db46/lib -L/usr/local/sqlite/lib > > > -lsqlite3 -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/lib -liconv" > > .. > > > iirc, the "--with-sqlite" config option does not take a DIR arg. so > > > to tell it where, LDFLAGS are req'd. > > > > The -L parameters are good enough in there, but isn't -lsqlite3 added > > automatically?

You don't have to use SQL_LIBS for anything else except -lsqlite3, if you really want to add that. --with-sqlite=/path wouldn't go adding -lsqlite3 anywhere either, so it wouldn't help. I think as a user it's a lot easier to use and understand if you're just instructed to say: CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-I/usr/local/lib ./configure instead of: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-sqlite=/usr/local --with-pgsql=/usr/local --with-ten-other-packages=/usr/local And then you'll have 13 -I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib parameters, unless of course I add more code to remove those. > --with-mysql=DIR DIR is the install prefix Binary packages sometimes install things to different locations than a standard installation. Like the header might not be in /usr/include/, but in /usr/include/package/.
