Description:
After downloading a source code for mySQL Connector/C I successfully configured it with CMake.
However trying to do "make -n" for a dry run fails.

The error is:

[code]
cd /home/igor/mysql-connector/extra && /usr/bin/cc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DMUTEX_EVENT -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/home/igor/mysql-connector/include -I/home/igor/mysql-connector/extra/rapidjson/include -I/home/igor/mysql-connector/zlib  -Wall -Wextra -Wformat-security -Wvla -Wwrite-strings -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror -g -fabi-version=2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -DENABLED_DEBUG_SYNC -DSAFE_MUTEX   -o CMakeFiles/comp_err.dir/comp_err.c.o   -c /home/igor/mysql-connector/extra/comp_err.c
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'mysys/libmysys.a', needed by 'extra/comp_err'.  Stop.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1085: recipe for target 'extra/CMakeFiles/comp_err.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [extra/CMakeFiles/comp_err.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:149: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
[/code]

It is on Gentoo Linux with CMkae 3.5.2.

I understand that chances this bug will be fixed is slim, but wanted to report it nevertheless as this failure should not occur.

Running an actual build (just "make") works fine though.

MariaDB is also failing to perform a "dry run" of "make".

How to repeat:
1. Download mySQL Connector/C.
2. Unpack it.
3. Change directory to where you unpack the product.
4. Execute "cmake -G "UnixMakefiles".
5. Execute "make -n".

Corrected a typo in a bug summary.

Hello Igor Korot,

Thank you for the bug report.
Verified this behavior as described.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

Hi, Chiranjeevi,
So are you going to be looking into this? Will this ticket be fixed?

Not a lot of people will need to do a "dry tun", but it still fails nevertheless.
