relates to MDEV-23538 Rename mariadb.pc to mariadbd.pc to a... Open

 Description   

On Fedora & RH OS, the packageconfig file (mariadb.pc) should be:

  • in sharedir if arch independend
  • in libdir if arch dependend

Since the pkgconfig file contains lines like:

libdir=${prefix}/lib
 
libdir=${prefix}/lib64

It is clearly arch dependend, thus should be moved to correct location.

Debian Upstream also considered it arch dependent

PR attached.

Same multi arch requirements apply also for Debian, though the paths are a tad different. Debian official packages have now this:

mariadb-10.4/debian$ cat libmariadb-dev.install
 
#!/usr/bin/dh-exec
 
usr/bin/mariadb_config
 
usr/include/mariadb
 
usr/lib/*/libmariadb.so
 
usr/lib/*/libmariadbclient.a
 
usr/lib/*/libmariadbclient.so
 
usr/lib/*/libmysqlservices.a
 
usr/share/aclocal/mysql.m4
 
usr/share/man/man1/mysql_config.1
 
usr/lib/pkgconfig/libmariadb.pc usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/pkgconfig/
 
usr/share/pkgconfig/mariadb.pc usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/pkgconfig/

Of the 3 PRs this one seems best: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/597

Comment by Otto Kekäläinen [ 2020-03-03 ]

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920365 there is attached a script that could potentially generate mariadb.pc in a way that would be not arch-dependent.
