Hi folks,

just step into another problem and don't know why?

If i try to configure dovecot with the following:

./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls --with-mysql

i get

...
checking for auth_userokay... no
checking for mysql_config... NO
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found

After that i've tried to configure with following:

LDFLAGS="-L/test/core/mariadb/lib" ./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls --with-mysql

but with same result.

The Content of "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is:

libmariadbclient.a

libmariadb.so -> libmariadb.so.3

libmariadb.so.3

libmysqlclient.a -> libmariadbclient.a

libmysqlclient_r.a -> libmariadbclient.a

libmysqlclient_r.so -> libmariadb.so.3

libmysqlclient.so -> libmariadb.so.3

libmysqlservices.a

pkgconfig

plugin

Also the Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib/pkgconfig" is in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable and the

Library-Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is known by the dynamic linker (/etc/ld.so.conf.d/mylibs.conf).

So what am i doing wrong?

My Dovecot version: 2.3.18

My Mariadb version: 10.6.5

My OS: Ubuntu 20.04
