[mapguide-users] No Feature Providers in Studio Preview

>> What am I missing here?

You are missing the code for the MySQL FDO provider. :)
I would guess that the tar you used to compile FDO only contained the
SDF and SHP providers. That's why I asked about the version of FDO you
are using and how you got it -- did you download a tar.gz file and does
it contain 3.1 or 3.0 in the file name? Neither of the posted tars
contain providers other than SHP and SDF. You will need to get source
from subversion for the other providers.

The rpm is for the MySQL database (as well ad the devel & client
modules).  I definitely do not have a libFdoMySQL.so file (or anything
close to it) in my fdo directory.  I checked the /providers directory in
the fdo source and there is nothing there that looks like it could be
related either.  Originally, I simply ran build_linux.sh from fdo source
and everything got built automatically.

Hmmm, I did just come across this in the online version of the
OpenSourceBuild_README file which, for some reason, was not in the
tarball:
*****
NOTE: Choosing the RPM install of the MySQL components is *strongly*
recommended. However, if a non-RPM installation of MySQL is chosen,
following the installation, set the following FDO environment variable: 
FDOMYSQL=[MySQL developer components path]
*****
I never set an FDO environment variable, though judging by the text I
shouldn't have to since I did use RPMs.  Still...

I also did a grep scan of all Makefile and configure files and found no
references to MySQL whatsoever.  What am I missing here?
