Details

Description:

The cmake target "Poco::DataMySQL" defined in "PocoDataMySQLTargets.cmake" has a dependency to "MySQL::client", but this target is not defined, so the generation fails if you try to use this target.

Probably it should be "libmysqlclient.so" instead (included in mariadb-libs).

Error message:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (add_executable):
Target "untitled" links to target "MySQL::client" but the target was not
found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or
an ALIAS target is missing?

Steps to reproduce:
Generate the attached cmake project.

main.cpp (0.1 KiB)

CMakeLists.txt (0.2 KiB)

This task depends upon

Could you make a patch for the package to fix this up? I don't really care for poco much and would likely drop the package as it doesn't have any dependents.

I have used this patch on my system to get it working.
