I did google a bit and opened an Jira Issue for it in MariaDB project but it seems that my_config.h file is part of the server headers and that headers were moved to /server folder in the latest MariaDB release: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-13370

I googled "mariadb-devel my_config" and found this.

Why don't you google?
I'm not free tech support and here is not user forum.

That's my fucking question that I did open after googling, not finding anything and reading carefully your issue template.
I did opened a Jira issue at MariaDB found that the file is not there for a reason and from my point of view it needs to be fixed in your side. In fact by the comments on https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-13370 they don't expect any client connector needing any server header, but that's out of my scope.

So yes I googled, follow your requirements and still think that there is an error in this component that should be fixed.
I tried to give you all the details and you disregarded the issue without even looking at the avatar of your googled "solution" or check that my question does not have an answer yet, as I still don't see any way to install without manual intervention.

[methane]

I'm sorry. I have received many noisy questions from this project.

[methane]

fixed. But please don't ask me "when it's released?"

I don't have time and motivation to build windows binary for now.
And I don't want to make release without Windows binary wheel,
because I will receive massive "I can't install" issue report.

No problem, thank you so much for the fast reply and fix.
