Hey David! I was able to compile MySQL on a slug without problems. The key is you have to set a compile flag to use less memory. Here are the compile flags I used:
CFLAGS="-O3 -marm" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -marm -felide-constructcrs -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-assemblr --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --with-low-memory I am sure it would be more elegant to cross-compile but technically it would be more involved. Josh
