[Dovecot] Compiling with SQL support

[Mark Smith]

Hello all,

I am currently having a slight problem (ok well more likely me just not 
doing it right), with compiling Dovecot with MySQL support. The version 
is 1.0.8. I have tried running configure with --with-sql and 
--with-sql-drivers, but this however still does not compile MySQL 
support, I do no wish to install MySQL on this server, as I am using a 
network SQL server, but I do have the compiled source available on this 
server. I have tried running:

gcc -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILD_MYSQL \
-I../.. -I../lib -I../lib-settings -I/data/mysql/include/mysql \
driver-mysql.c -o driver_mysql.so -lmysqlclient

inside the /src/lib-sql, but this just returns an error that mysqlclient 
cannot be found.

I have tried running dovecot --build-options, but MySQL is not listed 
here, the operating system is FreeBSD 6.2.

The documentation does not seem to be giving any hints as to why this is 
not working, nor do How Tos.

Any help would be appreciated.
