New Revision: 2764
URL: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/mysqlpp?rev=2764&view=rev
Log:
Updated Cygwin related docs that talked about building the C API library
from source. That isn't necessary any more, so reworked the text to
treat Cygwin more like any other *ix.

-Prerequisite: Build MySQL
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Before you can build MySQL++, you need to build the MySQL client
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- You can build it with the standard configure && make && make install
- sequence, but a better configure command for this purpose is:
-
- $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
- --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man \
- --disable-shared --without-{debug,readline,libedit,server}
-
-
-Building the Library and Example Programs
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- With that done, you can build MySQL++ just as you would any other
- typical Unix program. See README-Unix.txt for details.
+Prerequisite: Install MySQL
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Before you can build MySQL++, you need to install the
+ libmysqlclient-devel package with Cygwin's setup.exe.
+
+ In the past, you had to build MySQL from source, since
+ there was no reliable place to get a binary version of the
+ client library for Cygwin. If you must still do this for
+ some reason, here's a hint on how to build just the client
+ library, since you probably will be running either a native
+ Windows version of the server, or have the server installed
+ on another machine entirely:
+
+ $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
+ --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man \
+ --disable-shared --without-{debug,readline,libedit,server}
+
+
+Building the Library and Example Programs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Having done that, Cygwin behaves like any other Unixy system.
+ See the instructions in README-Unix.txt.
