Dear all,

I've installed Cygwin and CAMP and I'm now looking for guidelines to build/install 
mysql under cygwin and XPpro. Sorry
for that question but I tried during severals days with no luck.

I'm using the scripts provided by Gerrit P. Haase in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00025.html
with mysql-3.23.49.tar.gz

At the end of the installation process, I get the following error when starting mysql 
deamon :

  /src/mysql/mysql-3.23.49> Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql/data
  020503  7:15:49  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 0)
  020503 07:15:49  mysqld ended

This error has been already discussed in several mailing lists, the solution was to 
chown /var/mysql/data with user
mysql, but it does not work here.

I used the following procedure :

- add user mysql and group cyg_mysql in XP (I log with username 'Administrateur')
- add user and group to cygwin files with
 mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
 mkgroup -l > /etc/group
- installation in /scr/mysql
- mysql.build prep => ok
- patch -p0 < ../mysql.patch => ok
- mysql.build conf => ok
- mysql.build build
    stops with errors in make info :
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/mysql/mysql-3.23.49/bdb'
        make: *** [info-recursive] Error 1
- mysql.build install => ok
- mysql.build initdb => ok, but
   ./scripts/mysql_install_db says :
        Preparing db table
        Preparing host table
        Preparing user table
        Preparing func table
        Preparing tables_priv table
        Preparing columns_priv table
        Installing all prepared tables
        ERROR: 1033  Incorrect information in file: './mysql/db.frm'
        ...
        020503  8:16:00  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

- mysql.build startdb
    => stops with 'mysqld ended' :
    cat /var/mysql/data/EXBRAYAT.err
          /src/mysql/mysql-3.23.49> Starting mysqld daemon with databases from 
/var/mysql/data
          020503  7:15:49  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' 
(errno: 0)
          020503 07:15:49  mysqld ended

Of course, there is no file in /var/mysql/data/mysql/ ...

when I cp /dev/null to mysql/host.frm the deamon can access the file and the error 
become :
        020503  8:28:58  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Incorrect information in file: 
'./mysql/host.frm'
        020503 08:28:58  mysqld ended



So, the installation process did not create the mysql database. but why ? Is there a 
patch to apply in
./scripts/mysql_install_db ?

Fortunately, I have also installed mysql under XP, and when I copy the XP/mySQL 
databases to the CygWin/mySQL ones,
everything (camp & mysqld) is working perfectly, except it is a mess with usernames ...

Mr Haase, could you help ? :-)

thanks,

Olivier.
