MariaDB: Galera wsrep provider is missing

[xfalkenx%SDF.ORG@localhost]

Hello,

I was trying to build a MariaDB multi-master replication cluster on NetBSD 
as I already did on Linux before but I have encountered a problem: Galera 
software is not available in pkgsrc.

Although MariaDB can be compiled with wsrep (as it also comes in the 
pre-compiled package) one can not set the wsrep_provider because the 
library named libgalera_smm.so does not exist. That library belongs to the 
Galera software, which manages the replication tasks for MariaDB, but this 
software is not available in pkgsrc neither integrated in MariaDB package.

I have tried to compile it from the sources but the software itself can 
only be compiled on Linux, MacOS and FreeBSD.

Should I be using other wsrep provider to implement the replication as an 
alternative to Galera?

Does anybody managed to successfully compile and load libgalera_smm.so so 
far or have built a MariaDB multi-master replication cluster on NetBSD?

I thought about loading the library with Linux emulation from pkgsrc 
packages (suse's libs) but maybe I'm not sure it is a good idea for a 
production cluster.

Thank you,
