Zoneminder 1.26.3 Configure / Build error libmysqlclient.a

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.

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.

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=
