I’m getting errors when trying to configure make for version 2.3.21 on macOS 14.3.1 Sonoma.

It ends with:

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

I’m using:

env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs libsodium

CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3/3.2.1/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/ homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib ./configure --with-ssl=openssl --with-mysql --with- sodium

Looking at config.log I see:

You are missing zstd library.
