Zoneminder 1.26.3 Configure / Build error libmysqlclient.a

[2Psycho]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my existing 1.25 zondminder to 1.26.3.
But during the "./configure" it is responding with an error.

Code: Select all

checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: zm requires libmysqlclient.a

I have all modules installed

Code: Select all

locate libmysqlclient
/usr/clearos/sandbox/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16
/usr/clearos/sandbox/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0
/usr/clearos/sandbox/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.16
/usr/clearos/sandbox/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.16
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0

For some how it requistes for *.a instead of .so?
Is this know, what is the fix or workaround.

Well, you didn't show exactly how you called ./configure, but a guess would be that you need to add this to your configure statement: --with-mysql=/usr

The execute the following command:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/virtual/domain.net --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-webuser=apache --with-webgroup=apache ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=xxxx ZM_DB_PASS=xxxx --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/share/ffmpeg CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS" --with-mysql=/usr

It appears with the same error message.
I tried to create a symbolic link from /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so to /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a also without success.

Look in your config.log file. If should tell you exactly which folder & library it was looking for when it failed.

[2Psycho]

The problem is that the script does not look in the /usr/lib64 folder.
I created a symbolic link in the /usr/lib to the library now it works.
Maybe something for the ToDo list add 64bit support.

[knight-of-ni]

64bit installs work just fine.

The problem has got something to do with your distro (you have not mentioned what it is) or the way you are running configure.

UPDATE: This is what my configure statement looks like on a 64bit CentOS platform. Works flawlessly.

Code: Select all

./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-libarch=lib64 --disable-crashtrace --with-mysql=/usr --with-ffmpeg=/usr --with-webdir=/usr/share/zoneminder/www --with-cgidir=/usr/libexec/zoneminder/cgi-bin --with-webuser=abauer --with-webgroup=abauer --enable-mmap=yes --disable-debug --with-webhost=zm.local ZM_SSL_LIB=gnutls ZM_RUNDIR=/var/run/zoneminder ZM_TMPDIR=/var/lib/zoneminder/temp CXXFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -msse2 --with-extralibs=
