Building the MySQL/MariaDB plugin for CentOS 8

[GregB]

I'm trying to build the mysql plugin for a Qt console application in CentOS 8. I've followed the directions from https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html but it only builds the sqllite driver.

I've run:

qmake -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/usr/include/mysql

but it still says that only the sqllite driver is available. Running

make sub_mysql

doesn't work either, because the previous step didn't.

How do I build the MariaDB/MySQL driver on CentOS 8?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

remove config.cache, config.log and run qmake again. Then take a look into config.log why mysql is not found.

That worked! Thank you

@yixinshark said in Building the MySQL/MariaDB plugin for CentOS 8:

Depends on your system. Did you check where you have mysql header files?
And what exact problem do you actually have?
