dovecot - Mar 2005 - dovecot-1.0-test65 + mysql build problem (sha1_result)

Hello all!

When trying to build dovecot-1.0-test65 with mysql support I get the
following error:

...
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x5c): In function
`sha1_result':
: multiple definition of `sha1_result'
../lib/liblib.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x830):/usr/local/src/dovecot/dovecot-1.0-test65/src/lib/sha1.c:242:

make: *** [all] Error 2

The version of mysql I'm using is 4.1.10a. Could this mean that dovecot
uses a function ('sha1_result') that already exists in libmysqlclient.a?

If not, can someone perhaps point me into the right direction where to
look for the error? I can provide more details about my setup, if
needed, of course.

Regards,

Michael

Yes, and I'm not going to change it. Mysql is a library, and it's
library's job to keep the exported functions in a namespace that is
unlikely to conflict with the actual program that's trying to use the
library.

Maybe this is fixed in newer versions? I don't know. If not, I'd suggest
telling Mysql people to fix it. Dovecot won't be the only program having
trouble with it.
