如何编译mariadb以获得libmysqlclient.so？ （在/ usr / local / mysql / lib中缺少libmysqlclient.so）

Question

I wanted to move our database from mysql (community version) to mariadb with the further use of php7.1/apache2.4.25... So I have to compile mariadb in our new production environment. I compiled it with these options:

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-std=c++11" -DCONC_WITH_CURL=ON -DCONC_WITH_EXTERNAL_ZLIB=ON -DDISABLE_SHARED=OFF -DCONC_WITH_MYSQLCOMPAT:BOOL=ON -DPLUGIN_CLIENT_ED25519:STRING=DYNAMIC .
make all && make install

The mysql community version has a libmysqlclient.so in /usr/local/mysql/lib located. If I compile it with the options given above I only found these files in /usr/local/mysql/lib (MariaDB 10.2.6):

# ls -l /usr/local/mysql/lib/
total 3572
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2305518 Jul  4 08:14 libmariadbclient.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 Jul  4 08:31 libmariadb.so -> libmariadb.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1297664 Jul  4 08:14 libmariadb.so.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   48406 Jul  4 08:14 libmysqlservices.a
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    4096 Jul  4 08:31 plugin

How can I get libmysqlclient.so? There isn't also any libmariadbclient.so just libmariadbclient.a ...

Thank you for further hints!

Answer 1

OK, now I found a solution. I've just did a symbolic link to libmariadb.so and it now looks like the following:

ls -l /usr/local/mysql/lib/
total 3572
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2305518 Jul  4 16:21 libmariadbclient.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 Jul  4 16:39 libmariadb.so -> libmariadb.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1297664 Jul  4 16:21 libmariadb.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 Jul  4 16:40 libmysqlclient_r.so -> libmariadb.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      15 Jul  4 16:40 libmysqlclient.so -> libmariadb.so.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   48406 Jul  4 16:21 libmysqlservices.a
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    4096 Jul  4 16:39 plugin

In this case PHP 7 would finally find the mysql libraries...
