Cross Compile Connector/C(libmysql) for Linux/PowerPC architecture

[Niranjan Mahabaleshwar]

I want to cross compiling libmysql for Linux/PowerPC. Hence I downloaded the source code, made changes to CMake so that the compiler in my tool chain is used (ppc_4xx-gcc and ppc_4xx-g++). Then when I start to build I get problems because of collision in my toolchain and libmysql wrt openssl.

openssl header files are present both in libmysql source and my toolchain as shown below

libmysql - /extlib/yassl/include/openssl
toolchain - /opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include/openssl

Hence when the files in libmysql are being compiled I get collisions because of my toolchain. How should I proceed ? I guess I shoule use files present in libmysql rather my toolchain wrt openssl.

I provide the include path /opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include to CMake as it contains all the standard libraries, but this enables files in openssl being used for compilation. How can I make sure files for openssl from my toolchain are not used ?

Or am I missing something elementary ? Has anyone done something similar ?

PS: CMAKE Version 2.8.10.2
