Description:
Compiling the new cluster releases fails in configure phase.

How to repeat:
./configure --prefix=/home/mysql/product/mysqlcom-5.1.29-ndb-6.3.19-telco --with-plugins=max
...
config.status: creating storage/heap/Makefile
config.status: creating storage/innobase/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: storage/innobase/Makefile.in

Suggested fix:
no idea.

But workaround with --without-plugin-innobase works according to customer.

Was still working with mysqlcom-5.1.27-ndb-6.3.17-telco, but not anymore in 6.3.19.
But this isn't "Widespread".

triage: setting to Cluster as specific to it and not a general compiling issue

Need re verified on current source.

I took the following package to verify, hoping it is the correct replacement for the initial one: mysql-cluster-com-6.3.24.tar.gz

It looks like, now is everything working fine:

..
config.status: creating storage/example/Makefile
config.status: creating storage/federated/Makefile
config.status: creating storage/heap/Makefile
config.status: creating storage/myisam/Makefile
...

The cluster team prefers to have different source packages,
with and without InnoDB.
The one that includes InnoDB is called "com-pro", whereas "com" is without InnoDB.

This applies to all release builds done by the build team, starting with cluster versions 6.2.17, 6.4.2, and 7.0.5.
It was not yet implemented for 6.3.20.

Version 6.3.24 was not handled by the build team, so I cannot tell whether "mysql-cluster-com-6.3.24.tar.gz" does contain InnoDB or not.

Had hoped for some feedback ...

I checked the source tarballs of cluster-6.3.24:
They comply with the policy regarding InnoDB, that means
- mysql-cluster-com-6.3.24.tar.gz      does *not* contain InnoDB,
- mysql-cluster-com-pro-6.3.24.tar.gz  *does* contain it.

Any build using a "com" package (as opposed to "com-pro")
must not try to access InnoDB, or else it will fail.

In our release builds, any "cluster-com" build uses "--without-innodb"
whereas "cluster-com-pro" and "cluster-gpl" both use "--with-innodb".

So the reported behaviour is a consequence of a source handling change which was requested by the cluster team, and is now applied to all server versions.
