Offlist or onlist, can someone help me get a build environment together so I can hack on the xserver code myself?
I see I can start with this: http://www.mysql.com/products/maxdb/develop/windows.html http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/CompileSources But it references 7.4 and I want to be sure I have the best information possible.
Nothing has changed, except that VC 6 is no longer supported (it might work, but we do not test 7.5 with that compiler). Which reminds me that you have to replace two files in the sources with versions required for VC 7: ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapdb/bin/tmp/asmobj-vc7.zip. They replace those in sys\src\os\I386_WIN32_32.
Make sure to execute vcvars32.bat (from VC 7) so that cl.exe is found in %PATH% and %INCLUDE% and %LIB% are right.
2. Any hint on which source files are related to xserver.
Try c:\> imf.pl -m serv.lnk this should list all the files necessary to build the x_server
3. Any hint on how to just compile xserver instead of doing the whole system.
c:\> imf.pl serv.lnk this creates a file usr/pgm/serv.exe which you can test with c:\> serv -D 1 (that way, it doesn't run as a service and you can printf to stdout)
x_server is just a wrapper, which you can compile as well with c:\> imf allsqlr
4. Hints and tips :)
c:\> imf -e <target> compiles with debug information
Ultimatly I am willing to develop and test a patch and submit it. I just need some help with getting the complex MaxDB build environment going. I am also willing to put up a Wiki page for other Win32 hackers once I figure out how to get it going myself :)
Just keep notes where something doesn't work as advertised and I update the documentation
