This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --===============5700537731735353400== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------dpXglWErluDmolFgZ2ZdTzRn" Content-Language: en-GB This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------dpXglWErluDmolFgZ2ZdTzRn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello Scott, after reading your considerations and suggestions I decided to leave my lazyness and have a look into the build files. So I discovered that the issue isn't the libndbclient.a missing, but the folder /.libs/ missing, (see the message below) clang: error: no such file or directory: '../ndb/src/.libs/libndbclient.a' I then took the hazard of creating the /.libs/ and putting in it the library libndbclient.a taken from a previous mysql installation (2021); the result was that, after trials and errors due to 'bad permisssion' to be modified, I got a successful build, and new .deb files. Curiously, the libndbclient.a, that was required at the time of the error, is wiped out at further stages of the build, that I tried to follow in its evolution. I'm glad, but the point is that I found a therapy for my case, but wasn't able to find where the illness is starting from. Maybe it's a special issue for Mojave systems; unfortunately, when I sent the first message, I put in Cc the maintainer and got an 'invalid address' answer. Maybe you, that surely know how fink's tasks are assigned, can bring the issue to the attention of somebody else. Thank you so much for your help; best regards L. Z.
