<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm hoping to build LibreOffice using MariaDB 10.1 rather than
MySQL 5.5.</p>
<p>But libmysqlclient-dev is stalling because I don't have MySQL 5.5
installed. I get this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><tt>sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice</tt></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><tt>Reading package lists... Done</tt><br>
<tt>Building dependency tree </tt><br>
<tt>Reading state information... Done</tt><br>
<tt>The following packages have unmet dependencies:</tt><br>
<tt> libmysqlclient-dev : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (=
5.5.52-0+deb8u1) but 10.1.18+maria-1~jessie is to be installed</tt><br>
<tt>E: Build-dependencies for libreoffice could not be
satisfied.</tt></p>
</blockquote>
<p>How is the best way to proceed forward with this?</p>
<p>Is it possible to modify libmysqlclient-dev to accept either
MySQL or MariaDb, (given that MariaDB is a drop in replacement for
MySQL)?</p>
<p>Hope you can help, and if not, if you might suggest who or how I
might get this done.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>-- Howard<br>
