configure script ignores passed args, build fails: ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient

[barracuda156]

I am trying to build apophenia from the latest commit, and configure (autoconf, in effect) ignores arguments passed:

1. --build= is ignored, and configure forced cpu_arch instead of build_arch.
2. --with-mysql=no is ignored, and the build eventually fails on:

  CCLD     libapopkernel.la
  CCLD     libapophenia.la
**ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient**
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libapophenia.la] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

3. --disable-silent-rules is ignored, no verbose output.

--without-mysql also fails to have any effect.

@b-k Any ideas why this is the case? Apparently earlier it worked fine, MacPorts used --with-mysql=no: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/a51a50b219ed4fa4751ab04051b79abe58d209c2/math/apophenia/Portfile#L33

And --disable-extended-tests also does not have any effect, tests are forced to build.

Sorry to keep updating, I am just trying to fix the build, and it still fails. After test suite finishes (it does not want to be disabled), target is not there:

OK, built. From the apophenia-1.0 directory, you can run: make && sudo make install

Ok, I found a way around that, build completes, destroot fails:

Gonna leave it for tomorrow perhaps.

Thanks for your investigations, and sorry for the long delay. I expect I'll have time next week to work on this. If you want to DM me we can discuss cleaning this up further.

@b-k I have forgotten about this as well. Will try to update on the matter in a few days.
