The dependency of FCL in ports on mysql and other databases is wrong. You don't need mysql or others installed for FCL to "work". There are many units in the FCL but most of them are stand-alone header translations. Imagine that when you install java, you'd have to install all possible databases and libs it has interface to.. that's just not right. FCL is also a collection of pure fpc libs like containers required to compile alot of projects/programs which DON'T need any of the databases or other external libs. Please remove the dependency in the port and possibly add a warning to the user that if they want to use external libs from fpc they need to install them. Ales Katona
