    I tried earlier today using latest version offered in Oracle repos for 8.0,
and was able to compile dovecot. I can revisit the issue though.

     It appears the issue is MySQL 8.0.13 apparently(?) removed the mysql_init

     the first build is 8.0.12, the 2nd is 8.0.13.





     Can the dovecot guys look as well? I've sent a note to the MySQL


     maintainer for FreeBSD as well.





     Thanks.

      Well, I tried to do ldd /usr/local/sbin/dovecot to see what it's build


      against, but it shows different


      output than what I see when I do the same against my Exim. Maybe it's
a


      gcc vs clang issue, but
