Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* Due to an incorrect check for the build environment in the MariaDB header file, packages that require the mariadb-devel packages for building failed to build with an error massage. This update fixes the check for the build environment in the mysql.h file, so that the check is applied only when expected. As a result, software that requires mariadb-devel now builds successfully.

Description Robert Buchholz 2014-11-21 10:44:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
The fast-tracked security update for MariaDB from 5.5.37 to mariadb-5.5.40-1.el7_0 introduced a strict check in /usr/include/mysql/my_config.h

This check breaks the latest release (1.2.5) of MySQL-python aka MySQLdb. This is already fixed upstream and slated to be released as 5.5.41.

See upstream issue:
https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-6862

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mariadb-5.5.40-1.el7_0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pip install MySQL-python

Actual results:
Downloading/unpacking MySQL-python>=1.2.1
  Downloading MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip (108kB): 108kB downloaded
...
    In file included from /usr/include/mysql/my_config.h:14:0,
                     from _mysql.c:44:
    /usr/include/mysql/my_config_x86_64.h:654:2: error: #error <my_config.h> MUST be included first!
     #error <my_config.h> MUST be included first!
      ^
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
    Complete output from command /home/zope/virtualenv_zms2/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/home/zope/virtualenv_zms2/build/MySQL-python/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-ivNjkp-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /home/zope/virtualenv_zms2/include/site/python2.7:

Expected results:
Installs correctly
Comment 2 Robert Buchholz 2014-11-24 09:04:55 UTC 
It seems this is the fix that was pushed upstream:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/5.5/revision/4355
Comment 3 Honza Horak 2014-11-24 11:43:35 UTC 
Robert, thank you very much for the report and provided fix.
Comment 10 Honza Horak 2014-12-17 09:18:14 UTC 
Doc Text updated.

Just for anybody who needs to get over this bug, there are couple of workarounds:
* use older package to build with (other than mariadb-devel-5.5.40)
* change the header file locally according to: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/5.5/revision/4355
* include my_config.h before features.h in the depended application

Comment 13 Mattias Ellert 2014-12-22 10:33:27 UTC 
When can we expect this fix to propagate to the EPEL 7 build root?
