<font face="DejaVu Sans"> I have a 32 bit laptop running Ubuntu
12.04. On it I have installed LO 3.6.5.2 and 4.0.0.3.<br>
This evening I was going to built LO 4.0.0 with the native
connector for MySQL. In the process I had to download some files
needed for autogen.sh to work properly. Among these are two groups.<br>
These were the ones that autogen.sh had to have before it
stopped with an error message at line 201: libgnomevfs2-common,
libgnomevfs2-bin, libgnomevfs2-0, libgnomevfs2-dev,
libgnomevfs2-extra, libgnomevfs2-0-dbg.<br>
Prior to downloading the master build, I installed two files
that Alex Thurgood suggested: libmysqlclient18 and
libmysqlcppconn5 using synaptic. I also noticed these files were
available: </font><font face="DejaVu Sans"><font face="DejaVu
Sans">libmysqlclient-dev and </font>libmysqlcppconn-dev. So I
installed these also.<br>
I had run autogen.sh a couple of times with an error stopping
it at line 201. The error led me to the first group of files which
I also installed using synaptic. Then I ran (at Alex' suggestion):<br>
autogen.sh </font>--with-ext-mysql-connector
--with-system-mysql. (It should have also had an option containing
the path to the external mysql connector.) So, it ignored the first
option I gave it.<br>
Since then, I have installed the MySQL Native Connector that I
had downloaded from AOO a couple of months ago. I did this to both
LO 3.6.5.2 and 4.0.0.3. I have a Base file which I use to connect to
my MySQL server using the native connector. Now I can access MySQL
using this file with both 3.6.5.2 and 4.0.0.3.<br>
So the reason for this email including the QA people is that I
would like a simple test done by someone with a 32 bit Debian system
and MySQL server. Please install the AOO MySQL native connector.
Also install these two files: <font face="DejaVu Sans">libmysqlclient18
and libmysqlcppconn5. With these installed, can you connect to
MySQL? If so, part of our problem is solved.<br>
Tomorrow, I am going to run autogen.sh with the three needed
options. Hopefully, I will build a native connector for
LibreOffice.<br>
