Description:
Some installed header (.h) files contain #include lines for non-installed header files. The result is that compiling a MySQL program that uses the installed header files fails because not all required header files are available.
How to repeat:
The C program I was trying to compile had other stuff, but these lines are sufficient to illustrate:
missing-header.c:
#include <my_sys.h>
#include <m_string.h> /* for strdup() */
#include <mysql.h>
#include <my_getopt.h>
#include <sslopt-vars.h>
Compiling (make missing-header.o) results in this error:
gcc -c -I/var/mysql/80002/include missing-header.c
In file included from missing-header.c:1:
In file included from /var/mysql/80002/include/my_sys.h:25:
/var/mysql/80002/include/m_ctype.h:34:10: fatal error: 'str_uca_type.h' file not
found
#include "str_uca_type.h"
^
1 error generated.
make: *** [missing-header.o] Error 1
This occurs because m_ctype.h is installed in my installation directory
(/var/mysql/80002/include) but str_uca_type.h is not.
If I copy str_uca_type.h manually to the installation directory, I find other similar problems:
/var/mysql/80002/include/m_string.h:29:10: fatal error: 'lex_string.h' file not
found
After copying lex_string.h:
/var/mysql/80002/include/my_sys.h:27:10: fatal error: 'my_alloc.h' file not
found
After copying my_alloc.h:
/var/mysql/80002/include/sslopt-vars.h:28:10: fatal error: 'typelib.h' file not
found
After copying typelib.h compilation succeeds ... for *my* program. Possibly other inclusion-failure issues remain that I did not encounter.
Suggested fix:
Please arrange to install the non-installed files named earlier so that third-party programs compiled using installed header files can be built. Thank you.
