cmake errors 8.0.7 when enabling legacy connector

[Royce Kemp]

I am trying to build from source and encounter errors from cmake when enabling the legacy connector (-DWITH_JDBC=ON).

I run this cmake command:

cmake3 -DWITH_BOOST:FILEPATH=/data/cmNFS2/scm/share/v1/thirdparty/boost/1.66.0/devtoolset-7 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/cmNFS2/scm/share/v1/thirdparty/mysqlcppconn/8.0.7-rc/devtoolset-7 -DMYSQL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/data/cmNFS2/scm/share/v1/thirdparty/mysqlclient/6.1.11/devtoolset-7/bin/mysql_config -DMYSQL_LIB=/data/cmNFS2/scm/share/v1/thirdparty/mysqlclient/6.1.11/devtoolset-7/lib/libmysqlclient.so -DWITH_SSL=system -DWITH_JDBC=ON .


Here is a sampling of the error output, though many files fail to compile, but they all relate to this same error:

Note, I had to fix a bug in jdbc.cmake, line 81, added -DMYSQL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=${MYSQL_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE} so that it would properly accept the value from the CLI.

There seems to be another bug as well when it's trying to determine if the compilers for the C driver and the current compiler are the same, it's doing a regex on the mysql_config output, but mysql_config never outputs the compiler used, so this is a bug in the cmake script, but I believe it only emits a warning so I am ignoring it for now.

My question is to the forum, why is the compilation errors happening? Is it because I'm using a non-standard location for my toolchain perhaps? I'm using latest toolchain from redhat devtools-7.
