mysql - does it compile?

[stone]

I've downloaded and tried to compile mysql-3.23.36. Configuring goes well then but I get a compiler error a good part into the build when running make.

I've browsed forums and it seems that some people have compiled mysql without any problem at all (an older version).

I would be really grateful to get help in solving this problem.

Thanks!

Hey,

I finally found this:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/a/Mac_OS_X_Public_Data.html

which describes how to fix this problem. I haven't tried it yet.

------------------------------------------------
Just change line 1232 of sql/mysqld.cc to use:
void (*)(int) rather than void (*)()
------------------------------------------------


Recompile and you should be fine.
I've had it working very nicely for a few days now. The only problem I have is that the mysqladmin shutdown command doesn't seem to work.

Scott Ellsworth <scott@alodar.com>: I can confirm this - the one code change mentioned makes it compilable, but I have not yet had mysqladmin successfully shut it back down.

Just noticed this fix was for .35 and not .36.

HAS ANYONE COMPILED MYSQL for X.0 ? I can't get mine to compile..... Same error as above....

 

[stone]

Sure,

The fix works but it's a few lines further down in 36, #1241 I think.

i was compiling 3.23.36 when i came across this thread! it errord out as reported and i made the recommended alteration to line 1241. up and running now! what timing!

also... to get msqld up at boot time:
• make a new 'mysql' directory in /System/Library/StartupItems/
• like the readme says, copy /support-files/mysql.server (from the distro) to /System/Library/StartupItems/mysql
• make sure mysql.server is readable and executeable by root
• place <a href="http://www.idiotsyndicate.org/StartupParameters.plist">this file</A> (StartupParameters.plist) in /System/Library/StartupItems/mysql
(option+click that dowload link)

tada!
