Problem:

Libmodsec cannot find the LMDB library in the lib folder when running build_ols.sh.

configure: LMDB headers found at: /usr/local/src/third-party/include
configure: error: LMDB was explicitly referenced but it was not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
cp: cannot stat 'src/.libs/libmodsecurity.a': No such file or directory

on FreeBSD 14, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24

Can you verify that there is a libmaxminddb.a in third-party/lib?

[dev-zhandos]

Yes, there is a libmaxminddb.a in third-party/lib folder after running build_ols.sh.

Uncommenting these lines in third-party/script/build.lmdb.sh solved the problem. Tested in Rocky Linux 9 and Ubuntu 24
