and GNU/Linux, and probably also MacOS X.

Something like:

export CFLAGS='-I/path/to/mysql_cppconn/includes'
export LDFLAGS='-L/path/to/mysql_cppconn/libs'
./autogen.sh --enable-ext-mariadb-connector --with-system-mysql-cppconn

OR

export MARIADBCONFIG=/path/to/mariadb_config_or_mysql_config
./autogen.sh --enable-ext-mariadb-connector --without-system-mysql-cppconn --with-system-mariadb

you can add --enable-bundle-mariadb if the libmysql/libmariadb is not
in the default search path (else, you need to set rpath manually or
run LibreOffice under
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libmysqlclient.so.15
or something like that).


BUT, I have some good news. The (LGPL) MariaDB native client developer
fixed the crash, so we if we update to bzr revision 107 (or later), we
can switch back to mariadb native client... Except it does not quite
inspire confidence, I'm not sure...
