This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-6351
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6351

--- Description ---

When compiling Qt 4.6 (seems to be the same issue for Git 4.6-stable, 4.6 and
master, and also the release candidate 1), there seems to be a include search
path clash when Qt is compiled with <tt>-qt-sql-mysql</tt> and
<tt>-with-webkit</tt>.

<p>Since MySQL support is not included by default, I have to compile Qt
manually, and I used the following configuration: </p>
<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div
class="preformattedContent panelContent">
<pre>/Devel/qt/configure \
  -fast \
  -opensource \
  -no-qt3support \
  -no-xmlpatterns \
  -no-stl \
  -no-accessibility \
  -no-multimedia \
  -no-phonon \
  -no-phonon-backend \
  -confirm-license \
  -qt-sql-sqlite \
  -qt-sql-mysql \
  -nomake "demos examples" \
  -silent \
  -qt-sql-mysql \
  -release \
  -I /usr/local/libmysql/include \
  -L /usr/local/libmysql/lib \
</pre>
</div></div>

<p>As you can see, I defined an additional include path for the libmysql
code/libraries. Now when I run <em>make</em>, it compiles fine for a while, but
as soon as it reaches a certain part of WebKit code, the following happens:</p>

<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div
class="preformattedContent panelContent">

<p>It seems that it's possible to work around this by moving the libmysql from
a "contained" place like <em>/usr/local/libmysql/</em>, which in turn contains
<em>include</em>, <em>lib</em> and <em>bin</em>; to their "public" places like
<em>/usr/local/include</em>, etc.</p>

<p>I consider this to be a blocker, since it costs a LOT of time if you run
into this issue and it likely leads to more reports and problems on the user
side.<br/>
I assume this is due to the wrong order of include paths, and WebKit includes a
file that appears to have the same name in the MySQL drivers, and that one is
included instead.</p>


<p>Also, take a look at a discussion on the mailing lists for more
information:<br/>

Don't use P0.

I still think it was a poor design choice on MySQL's part to have a header
called "config.h"
