Add Aarch64 support (#231)

* added mariadb-connector-cpp submodule * raknet aarch64 support * fix compile errors * mariadb connector swap (in progress) * update CMakeLists, add preprocessor definition to switch between mysql and mariadb connectors * update types with missing aarch64 check * corrected adding extra flag to properly compile mariadbconn in CMakeLists * updated readme with arm builds section * fix build failure if test folder does not exist * Remove mysql connector from all builds, add mariadbconnector to windows build * readd Linux check for backtrace lib to CMakeLists.txt * Separate system specific mariadbconncpp extra compile flags * Copy dlls to exes directory once built * fetch prebuilt binaries on windows so that ClangCL can be used * Delay load dll so that plugin directory is set correctly * Fixed typo in glibcxx compile flag * whitespacing, spaces -> tabs * Updated README.md, included instructions to update * Updated README.md added libssl-dev requirement and removed mysql connector references from macOS builds section * apple compile fixes for zlib and shared library name * add windows arm64 checks to raknet * remove extra . in shared library location * Setup plugins directory for the connector to search in, pass openssl_root_dir on for apple * Fix copy paths for single config generators and non windows * change plugin folder location, another single config generator fix * GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG is a property not a variable * Fixed a few errors after merge * Fix plugin directory path, force windows to look at the right folder * fixed directory name for make_directory command * Update README.md Updated MacOS, Windows build instructions. * set INSTALL_PLUGINDIR so that the right directory is used * Support for relative rpath for docker build * added mariadb-connector-cpp submodule * raknet aarch64 support * fix compile errors * mariadb connector swap (in progress) * update CMakeLists, add preprocessor definition to switch between mysql and mariadb connectors * update types with missing aarch64 check * corrected adding extra flag to properly compile mariadbconn in CMakeLists * updated readme with arm builds section * fix build failure if test folder does not exist * Remove mysql connector from all builds, add mariadbconnector to windows build * readd Linux check for backtrace lib to CMakeLists.txt * Separate system specific mariadbconncpp extra compile flags * Copy dlls to exes directory once built * fetch prebuilt binaries on windows so that ClangCL can be used * Delay load dll so that plugin directory is set correctly * Fixed typo in glibcxx compile flag * whitespacing, spaces -> tabs * Updated README.md, included instructions to update * Updated README.md added libssl-dev requirement and removed mysql connector references from macOS builds section * apple compile fixes for zlib and shared library name * add windows arm64 checks to raknet * Setup plugins directory for the connector to search in, pass openssl_root_dir on for apple * Fix copy paths for single config generators and non windows * change plugin folder location, another single config generator fix * GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG is a property not a variable * Fixed a few errors after merge * Fix plugin directory path, force windows to look at the right folder * fixed directory name for make_directory command * Update README.md Updated MacOS, Windows build instructions. * set INSTALL_PLUGINDIR so that the right directory is used * Support for relative rpath for docker build * Rebase on main * Remove extra git submodule * Update CMakeLists.txt * Remove CMakeLists.txt file from mariadb Remove the CMakeLists.txt file from the mariaDBConnector so we dont build the tests. Also add a config option to the CMakeVariables.txt so you can build the connector with multiple jobs * Compile on windows Specify the mariadbcpp.dll file location with a defined absolute path so windows knows it actually exists. * default to 1 job Default mariadb jobs running in parallel to 1 instead of 4 * Move mariadbcpp.dll file to the expected directory on windows * Changed plugin Updated the plugin location from the project binary directory to the expected location, the mariadb binary directory. * Addressed windows dll issues by moving files to the expected directory instead of a directory that wouldnt get created * Update README Co-authored-by: Aaron Kimbrell <aronwk.aaron@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: EmosewaMC <39972741+EmosewaMC@users.noreply.github.com>
