For that reason, I wonder if we can add MySQL Connector/C > 6.1.5 in the external libraries as a MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.4 dependency. We've been - on and off - trying to use the MariaDB native (that is, C) client instead, which is supposed to be compatible and which we do have as an external. The inclusion of it as an external was seen as a first step towards getting progressively rid of MySQL Connector/C++. However, twice I switched back to using libmysqlclient (which is AFAIK another name for "MySQL Connector/C") because of bugs or incompatibility in the MariaDB native client; however, the MariaDB native client developer is *very* responsive in dealing with issues I throw at him :) He already dealt with the latest one (from 9 September). So, we could: 1) Have another try with MariaDB native client right now by including the patch for CONC-104 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/mariadb-native-client/trunk/revision/149 2) Have another try with MariaDB native client right now by updating our external to the "full" trunk revision 149. 3) Include libmysqlclient as an external. -- Lionel _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
