    Description

      Hello,
      I'd like to get some sense out of mariadb_config & mysql_config.

      My goal is to build mariadb-server without C-library part and build CONC/C, which has all the same files.

      Because, mariadb_config is in both - server and CONC/C - I left it only in CONC/C package.
      Because most packages out there search specificaly for "mysql_config" I provide symlink "mysql_config --> mariadb_config", so other packages can be built.

      However, the "mysql_config" present in mariadb-server has different output than "mariadb_config".

      Usage: /usr/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]

      Now:

      • Even though I provide CONC/C at the build "-DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock", the socket points to "/tmp/mysql.sock".
      • On the other hand, the server does't get the Port number.
      • how do you point user to the server header files (newly moved to include/mysql/server) ?
      • how to point user to "--libmysqld-libs" from mariadb-config?

      I guess, you meant to use mariadb_config for client stuff and mysql_config for server stuff. But that doesn't work at all, because all project out there look directly for "mysql_config" and the patches are often non-trivial.
      I wonder, if some other distro encountered this issue.
