I'm not a big fan of debian to begin with and this problem that I am facing at the moment makes me hate it.
I want a static version of the libmysqlclient on debian but it seems impossible to find.
I have installed everything with libmysql* and libmariadb* including the dev packages.
I only get the shared library.
Does anyone know how to solve this please?
I searched for libmysqlclient as a filename across all packages and came up with libmariadb-dev-compat that has a static version of libmysqlclient.
However I am having some difficulty getting it installed as it seems to conflict with some of the mariadb packages!
