p5.28-dbd-mysql fails to build

[ximon]

Hi, I have a new install of macports on 11.1 BigSur. mysql8 is installed and works, as does the mysql client, perl 5.28 installed also. When I try to install p5.28-dbd-mysql +mysql8 it fails with the below log messages.

I’m at a bit of a loss as to why it can’t link/include the mysql client lib as it’s location is plainly available and /usr/bin/clang exists.

Any thoughts? Could there be a built package for this port?

Hope I’m not missing something obvious...

Thanks, 

Simon.
