Thank you Gilles. That part is fixed. I tested and unfortunately there is
another error. I spent some time digging, and the problem is at the
mariadb_install_db script that comes from the mysql code when you build the
app. I tried to use that script manually with multiple "--basedir"
combinations, and I was not successful. probably a bug on qt.

I found this workaround, for other users:
* Install mariadb 10.11 by yourself. If you have homebrew, run at the terminal
: brew install mariadb at 10.11
* Install digikam, select mysql as database.
* Change the directories of the mysql binaries. Make sure the ones selected are
/opt/homebrew/opt/mariadb at 10.11/bin/...
* will run error. select cancel and Close digikam
* go to terminal and run :
/opt/homebrew/opt/mariadb at 10.11/bin/mariadb-install-db
--defaults-file=/Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/Resources/digikam/database/mysql-global.conf
--basedir=/opt/homebrew/opt/mariadb at 10.11/
--datadir=/users/your-user/desired-db-directory.mysql.digikam/db_data
replace above your-user for your user directory and -desired-dv-directory for
the directory where you want the database.
* open digikam again. You got digikam running with mysql database.
