Are there any plans to make the client library name configurable, so that those of us that need the client lib to be libmysqlclient instead of libperconaserverclient can handle it easily during the build process.
Currently, I am forced to execute the following commands prior to compilation:
find . -name CMakeLists.txt -exec sed -i -e ‘s;perconaserverclient;mysqlclient;g’ {} ;
sed -i -e ‘s;perconaserverclient;mysqlclient;g’ libmysql/libmysql.{ver.in,map}
It would be much easier to have a cmake parameter, such as -DWITH_LIBMYSQLCLIENT or something like that.
‘@Ken, thank you for the idea. I have logged this as an internal issue for consideration and possible implementation. Feel free to ping me on skype roel.mysql in a few weeks to see how it’s going (note to self; BLD-169).
