[MDEV-21067] Compilation of linked packages fails because something is wrong Created: 2019-11-16  Updated: 2023-04-27

 Description   

All versions are affected I found this that solves the issue, but maybe we should fix it in the software.
"I think this is a bug in that custom mariadb repo. Their packag MariaDB-devel-10.2.6-1.fc25.x86_64 only contains a library named:

/usr/lib64/libmariadbclient.a
However their pkg-config yiels another name:

> pkg-config --libs mariadb
-lmariadb
You best raise this at the maintainers of that repo. A workaround is to symlink libmariadbclient.a to libmariadb.a:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libmariadbclient.a /usr/lib64/libmariadb.a
That fixes the installation."

I can confirm that the name of the static library is incorrect in RHEL 7 RPMs as well:

$ rpm -ql MariaDB-devel | grep "libmariadb"
 
/usr/lib64/libmariadbclient.a
 
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libmariadb.pc

However, the dynamic library has the proper name:

$ rpm -ql MariaDB-shared | grep "libmariadb"
 
/usr/lib64/libmariadb.so
 
/usr/lib64/libmariadb.so.3

This is with the following packages installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep -i maria
