Packages like MythTV require that qt be compiled with mysql support, which it isn't by default. Since Arch is otherwise so ideal a platform for MythTV, it would be nice to have the flexibility without having to rebuild a fairly key system component like qt.

Patch to the PKGBUILD is attached.

(application/octet-stream)    PKGBUILD.diff (0.9 KiB)

I attached a fixed PKGBUILD. The first one was subtlely wrong.

Hmm... will this make qt depend on mysql, then?

I'd get a lot of complaining desktop users if I make qt depend on mysql.

I think it creates the need for a makedepend, not a depend. This is something we need to add to that PKGBUILD.. I forgot to do that.

I'll experiment with some other programs that use qt and try to determine their behavior with mysql removed, and then report back here.

Nevermind.. in fact, it DOES create a hard dependency on mysql. That is indeed too bad. I guess I will have to maintain a separate qt package (perhaps we could create a qt-mysql package that replaces qt?) and maintain it separately.

I don't know about using -qt-sql-mysql, but using -plugin-sql-mysql builds it as a dynamically loading plugin, so not every qt program will link against mysql.
