Is it possible that you used --nodeps to have it continue ? Because the
SPEC file actually already takes care of it:
%{?_with_mysql:Requires: mysql}
%{?_with_mysql:BuildRequires: mysql-devel, zlib-devel}
This will make sure that if you specify --with mysql, it will fail if you
don't have the BuildRequires installed.
If you want to learn to build or rebuild packages, please take a look and
try to understand the contents of the SPEC file. It really isn't hard and
it will save you quite a lot of time trying to get things done :)
