Unfortunately, not :

alex at acer-xubuntu:~/LODEV/core$ ./autogen.sh
--without-junit
--enable-ext-mysql-connector
--with-epm
--enable-ext-barcode
--enable-ext-google-docs
--enable-ext-nlpsolver
--enable-ext-numbertext
--enable-ext-oooblogger
--enable-ext-scripting-beanshell

--with-openldap
--enable-extra-font
--enable-python=auto
--enable-binfilter
--disable-mozilla
--without-system-mysql
--without-system-mysql-cppconn

checking whether to build the MySQL Connector extension... yes
checking for MySQL prerequisites... configure: error: not given. Please 
specify either --with-system-mysql or --with-libmysql-path
Error running configure at ./autogen.sh line 179.
