Description: Build LO yourself. Pass the --disable-mariadb-sdbc option in autogen.input. Create a new database document. Note how the alternatives for the "Connect to an existing database" choice include "MySQL" even if support for MariaDB/MySQL is not included. Also, when loading an existing .odb document that uses a MySQL database, it probably would make sense to notice right away that it is not going to work and refuse to load it, and not only give an error message when for instance clicking the "Tables" button in the left column. (You will then get the error message "The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the URL 'sdbc:mysql:mysqlc:...'") Steps to Reproduce: See description. Actual Results: . Expected Results: . Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: .
I couldn't build LO myself, but: Do you see "Connect directly" in step 2 of the wizard? This might be a bug. You could connect to MySQL by ODBC and JDBC without any problem it direct connection doesn't work. And this two connections should be offered by the wizard when choosing MySQL in the first step.
