Set-up MariaDB library file location programmatically?

[jsulm]

@SPlatten said in Set-up MariaDB library file location programmatically?:

the path of make is specified by the QTDIRBIN environment variable and I've checked the qmake application is in that location

That is not what I asked.
In which directory are you when you call qmake?

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , Ok, thank you, that was part of the problem. I am in:

/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers

The output now is:

Running configuration tests...
Checking for DB2 (IBM)... no
Checking for InterBase... no
Checking for MySQL... no
Checking for OCI (Oracle)... no
Checking for ODBC... no
Checking for PostgreSQL... no
Checking for SQLite (version 2)... no
Checking for TDS (Sybase)... no
Done running configuration tests.

Configure summary:

Qt Sql Drivers:
  DB2 (IBM) .............................. no
  InterBase .............................. no
  MySql .................................. no
  OCI (Oracle) ........................... no
  ODBC ................................... no
  PostgreSQL ............................. no
  SQLite2 ................................ no
  SQLite ................................. yes
    Using system provided SQLite ......... no
  TDS (Sybase) ........................... no

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into '/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

How do I get MySql set to yes ?

I've removed config.cache and re-run qmake, still the same results.

As always in such a situation: check config.log for failed MySQL test and see what exactly the problem was...

Not sure why this is an issue, I have built the driver for a previous version.

[jsulm]

@SPlatten said in Set-up MariaDB library file location programmatically?:

sybfront.h

Google says that header file is part of freetds-dev package (on Ubuntu).

[SPlatten]

@jsulm , I'll see what I can find.

After some googling:

brew upgrade freetds

Still getting same result tho.

[SPlatten]

Can anyone offer a solution?

[SGaist]

Since you want to build the MariaDB backend, what does the checks related to that backend say ?

[SPlatten]

@SGaist , can you explain what you mean please? This is the content of the config.log:

I've no idea why there is mention of win32, I'm on an iMAC running:

macOS Big Sur
Version 11.1

[SGaist]

If you take the time to read what you just posted, you'll see that it's for the Db2 database.

The logs contain all the tests that are done, concentrate on the one that are pertinent to MariaDB.

[SPlatten]

@SGaist , that's the problem isn't it? MySQL isn't mentioned.

[SGaist]

Did you grep through the complete logs ?
Until now you extracted information for two unrelated database backend.

[SPlatten]

@SGaist , sorry, I'm am idiot:

Which file do I edit to apply?

CONFIG+=sdk_no_version_check

[SGaist]

This is the real error:

@SPlatten said in Set-up MariaDB library file location programmatically?:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

"_mysql_get_client_version"

[SPlatten]

@SGaist , After seeing the output and its recommendation I edited sqldrivers.pro and added:

TEMPLATE = subdirs
  
sqldrivers_standalone {
    _QMAKE_CACHE_ = $$shadowed($$SQLDRV_SRC_TREE)/.qmake.conf
    load(qt_configure)
}

qtConfig(sql-psql)     : SUBDIRS += psql
qtConfig(sql-mysql)    : SUBDIRS += mysql
qtConfig(sql-odbc)     : SUBDIRS += odbc
qtConfig(sql-tds)      : SUBDIRS += tds

qtConfig(sql-sqlite)   : SUBDIRS += sqlite
qtConfig(sql-sqlite2)  : SUBDIRS += sqlite2
qtConfig(sql-ibase)    : SUBDIRS += ibase

CONFIG+=sdk_no_version_check

I then removed all the config files including the cache with:

rm -R config.*

Then executed:

$QTDIRBIN/qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.5.7/include/mysql" "MYSQL_LIBDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.5.7/lib" MYSQL_LIBS="-lmariadb"

All this as in:

The result was config.log:

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into '/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

I then executed make:

cd sqlite/ && ( test -e Makefile || /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/sqlite/sqlite.pro ) && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -f Makefile 
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `first'.

Then make install:

cd sqlite/ && ( test -e Makefile || /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/sqlite/sqlite.pro ) && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -f Makefile install
/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/bin/qmake -install qinstall -exe ../plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib
/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/bin/qmake -install qinstall /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib.dSYM/Contents/Info.plist /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib.dSYM/Contents/Info.plist
/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/bin/qmake -install qinstall /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/libqsqlite.dylib /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.dylib.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/libqsqlite.dylib
/Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/bin/qmake -install qinstall /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/lib/cmake/Qt5Sql/Qt5Sql_QSQLiteDriverPlugin.cmake /Users/sy/Qt/5.15.1/clang_64/lib/cmake/Qt5Sql/Qt5Sql_QSQLiteDriverPlugin.cmake

I've also tried to mysql.pro:

CONFIG+=sdk_no_version_check
  
TARGET = qsqlmysql

HEADERS += $$PWD/qsql_mysql_p.h
SOURCES += $$PWD/qsql_mysql.cpp $$PWD/main.cpp

QMAKE_USE += mysql

OTHER_FILES += mysql.json

PLUGIN_CLASS_NAME = QMYSQLDriverPlugin
include(../qsqldriverbase.pri)

Then repeated the above steps, still mysql shows no??? and same results. Is it looking for a mysql library because MariaDB mostly uses the name mysql as it is based on that but I've notice that there are a few folders where the name is actually mairadb and not mysql?

Serious question: do you realise that you just silenced a warning unrelated to the actual error ?

I already pointed you to the real issue: a symbol is missing: _mysql_get_client_version.

In any case, Qt 5.15.2, MariaDB 10.5.8 is a working combo using the same qmake line you have with just the versions updated.

@SGaist , I have to switch back to 5.15.1 as 5.15.2 didn't come with any binaries, such as qmake.

Why is the symbol missing: _mysql_get_client_version ?

I'll try updating MariaDB now.

[SPlatten]

@SGaist , sorted now....I didn't realise that the version of MariaDB had already been updated on my system, so after correcting this in the command line everything is now working.

Thank you.
