For some reason, I can't compile databases/mysql55-server on a fresh install; it errors out with
$ cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server && make ===> mysql-server-5.5.12 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/cmake - found ===> mysql-server-5.5.12 depends on shared library: mysqlclient.18 - not found ===> Verifying install for mysqlclient.18 in /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-client ===> Returning to build of mysql-server-5.5.12 Error: shared library "mysqlclient.18" does not exist *** Error code 1 The dependency on the library is set in Mk/bsd.database.mk: $ grep LIB_DEPENDS /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.database.mk | grep mysqlclient LIB_DEPENDS+= mysqlclient.${MYSQL${MYSQL_VER}_LIBVER}:${PORTSDIR}/${_MYSQL_CLIENT} Checking, the library is installed, except in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql -- $ find /usr/local/lib -name libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 For some reason, LIB_DEPENDS isn't checking any subdirectories of ${LOCALBASE}/lib; I'm not sure if it's meant to check in any subdirectories. The quick fix I came up with is to symlink the library in /usr/local/lib/mysql to /usr/local/lib, e.g., $ ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 Which fixes the problem. Can we change it such that either 1) The LIB_DEPENDS in bsd.database.mk checks the appropriate install directory for the MySQL client libs or 2) databases/mysqlX-client automatically symlinks the libraries into /usr/local/lib so that the install scripts pick them up properly. I can submit a PR and patches if necessary. Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to ports@. Thanks!
