Which software is this?

Usually there is some file like cmake/FindMySQL.cmake which is a module
for cmake. This would describe how to find MySQL headers and libraries.
But the build system might call FIND_LIBRARY() or FIND_PACKAGE()
directly from the main CMakeLists.txt as well.

Otherwise it might do this in some other place, for example look for
MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR and MYSQL_LIBRARY, which would be typical names for
such variables. In this case, you can usually instruct cmake to use
specific paths:
  configure.args-append \
      -DMYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR=${prefix}/include/mysql5 \
      -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=${prefix}/lib/libmysql5.dylib

(or whatever correct paths would be...)

HTH,
