Description

MariaDB is generally a drop-in replacement for MySQL, but attempting to build this module with MariaDB installed on the system (instead of MySQL) results in the error ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient for architecture x86_64. Is there any way this module could be used with MariaDB?
