Dimitri> If i try to configure dovecot with the following:

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

Dimitri> i get

You probably need to tell 



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

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

Dimitri> libmariadbclient.a
Dimitri> libmariadb.so -> libmariadb.so.3
Dimitri> libmariadb.so.3
Dimitri> libmysqlclient.a -> libmariadbclient.a
Dimitri> libmysqlclient_r.a -> libmariadbclient.a
Dimitri> libmysqlclient_r.so -> libmariadb.so.3
Dimitri> libmysqlclient.so -> libmariadb.so.3
Dimitri> libmysqlservices.a
Dimitri> pkgconfig
Dimitri> plugin

Dimitri> Also the Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib/pkgconfig" is in the
Dimitri> PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable and the Library-Path
Dimitri> "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is known by the dynamic linker

Dimitri> So what am i doing wrong?

Dimitri> My Dovecot version: 2.3.18
Dimitri> My Mariadb version: 10.6.5
Dimitri> My OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Why aren't you just using the Ubuntu 20.04 packaged version instead?
Also, did you install the headers for libmysqlclient properly as
well?

What does /test/core/mariadb/includes/ or
/test/core/includes/... show?
