 Description   

Hello, I'm trying to pack and distribute odbc-connector to Fedora repos.

But there is a issue with static lib, since there can't be any in Fedora (if posssible).
But hey, i have a workaround! Just make it optional to build it with dynamic library instead.

Edit file CMakeLists.txt on line 211 and add following:

IF(MARIADB_DYNAMIC_LIB)
 
  SET(MARIADB_LIB ${MARIADB_DYNAMIC_LIB})
 
ENDIF()

Now I can build it safely with

cmake ./ -DMARIADB_DYNAMIC_LIB="/usr/lib64mariadb/libmariadb.so"

and you will not lose any functionality.

Cmake option MARIADB_LINK_DYNAMIC tells cmake to look for and configure to link against dynamic library. The same old MARIADB_LIBRARY_DIR option in combination with it, can be used to point to library dir. The fix is for 3.0 only, and there is no plans to downmerge it.
One more thing is that that on *nix cmake will look for libmariadb.so.3, as only C/C 3.0 works for C/ODBC 3.0

Obviously, it also removes last references of not-exported c/c symbols.
