Description Bernhard Rosenkränzer 2020-02-27 19:50:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
If akonadi is configured with -DCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR=/somewhere, all of its config files (including mysql-global.conf) get installed to /somewhere -- but akonadiserver tries to load some of the files (including mysql-global.conf) with StandardDirs::locateResourceFile -- which isn't aware of -DCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR and looks in the default places.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On a box without previous akonadi configs, build and install akonadi with e.g. -DCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR=/etc
2. Try to start akonadiserver

OBSERVED RESULT
akonadiserver crashes on startup saying it can't find mysql-global.conf

EXPECTED RESULT
akonadiserver finds mysql-global.conf where it was installed (or alternatively, make install ignores CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR and installs mysql-global.conf where it can be found).

Check for config file in the location of CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR

Since we install the files in CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR
