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.
