Re: [Maria-developers] [Maria-discuss] Clear-text plugin
"no support for dlopen()" . How does this apply to Windows clients? We always build first on Windows and once we have no errors of any kind we build on Linux if the application exists for that platform (what MONyog does and SQLyog does not) and fix what issues may occur there. This issue has occurred with SQLyog (and as such for a Windows client). I am not coder/developer myself, but on Windows I think we have no other option than statically linking? We could of could compile the API as a .dll, but we don't (because we had a lot of problems with it earlier). -- Peter On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 3:25 PM, Sergei Golubchik <serg@mariadb.org> wrote:

Not really. If the cleartext plugin is built and installed, it'll be used when the server requests it.
I've just checked that this plugin is present both in rpm and deb packages. I didn't check binary tarballs, but it should be there too.
So, there's nothing to configure at run-time or compile-time, everything should work automatically and transparently.
Hmm, unless you build a completely static client library with no support for dlopen().

Peter, Out client library is able to load plugins, whether it is linked statically or shared with the executable is not very important. what serg refers to is -DHAVE_DLOPEN preprocessor constant. dlopen() on Windows trivially translates to LoadLibrary().
