mariadb @5.5.68 build failure on ARM64 MacbookPro Max

[wvalenzuela (Waldo)]

Dear all,

I run the command sudo port install qt5-mysql-plugin

And I have an error during installation of mariadb dependency.

waldo@MacBook-Pro-3 ~ % sudo port install qt5-mysql-plugin

Any ideas what I am doing wrong

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Waldo

I run also,

sudo port clean --all mariadb
sudo port patch mariadb

But error as well.

Looking the internal CMake error there is a missing configuration for the ARM64 architecture

From what I can tell, only MariaDB version 10.5 and later support Apple Silicon. As I said previously on ticket:65848#comment:2, if you do not need MariaDB 5.5 specifically, then I suggest using a different variant of qt5-mysql-plugin; presumably the ones which support Apple Silicon are mariadb10_5, mysql57, and mysql8.

Thanks for your comment, the problem is that if I run qt5-mysql-plugin it calls the 5.8 of mariadb, and I don't know how to point a port installation to use other dependency, and this is the only port for t5-mysql-plugin, I modified the error on 5.8 source code to compiled into ARM64, but I cannot tell the port installation that use a modified version because is checking the checksum... therefore I am stuck on that issue... thanks anyway for you comment... if you have another solution I will really appreciated

[chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)]

Modifying the port for older MariaDB to work on ARM64 will require some familiarity with portfiles, whereas installing a different qt5-mysql-plugin variant I would hope is as simple as e.g. sudo port install qt5-mysql-plugin +mysql8 (I suggest reading ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.variants.html if you are not familiar with port variants).
