Prerequisite: Build MySQL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you can build MySQL++, you need to build the MySQL client
- library from source. This is necessary because Cygwin programs
- work best when linked to Cygwin libraries, even though it's
- possible to link to some native Windows libraries. You do not
- need to build a Cygwin version of the MySQL server; it's still
- best to use the native Windows version of that.
+ library from source. You're welcome to try linking MySQL++ to the
+ native MySQL client libraries instead, but if you have problems with
+ it, don't expect any support on the mailing list.
+
+ You do not need to build a Cygwin version of the MySQL server. It's
+ still best to use the native Windows version of that.
- The MySQL client library does not build correctly out of the box.
- The best instructions I've found covering the necessary changes
- are here:
+ Older versions of MySQL do not build cleanly out of the box on
+ Cygwin. This has been fixed recently. I tested these instructions
+ on 5.0.67, with a contemporaneous version of Cygwin 1.5.x.
- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00159.html
+ You can build it with the standard configure && make && make install
+ sequence, but a better configure command for this purpose is:
- I recommend that you use MySQL v4.1.x at this time. Skip the
- step changing the pthread stuff in my_thr_init.c, as this change
- has already been made in recent versions of MySQL.
-
- With the changes applied, build and install the client library
- like so:
-
- $ autoreconf --install --verbose --force
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--disable-shared --without-{debug,readline,libedit,server}
- $ make
- $ make install
