Repost because the mail was too large with the attached patch, will send on request, please send reply to this mail to my private address if you want the patch file.
The patch is against MySQL 4.1.13a. If there are some hunks failing for some Makefile.in or configure, just ignore it and run `autoreconf -f -v -i` after applying it ( ---> only if applying this patch to later releases). I'm using a script to build the server, usage: put the script, the extracted patch file and the source tarball together in one directory, run the script with option 'all' or run the several steps manually: ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh prep ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh lnconf ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh conf ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh build ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh install ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh strip ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh pkg ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh spkg ./mysql-4.1.13a-1.sh finish This results in three tarballs, one including patch, script and source tarball, one including the runtime and one including import libraries and headers. Docs are included in the runtime package. One addition because I cannot run make test with this script: $ diff -u mysql-4.1.13a/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl~ mysql-4.1.13a/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl --- mysql-4.1.13a/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl~ 2005-08-06 10:59:43.193960000 +0200 +++ mysql-4.1.13a/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl 2005-08-06 10:58:44.199129600 +0200 @@ -393,7 +393,7 @@ $glob_scriptname= basename($0); $glob_win32_perl= ($^O eq "MSWin32"); - $glob_cygwin_perl= ($^O eq "cygwin"); + $glob_cygwin_perl= 0; $glob_win32= ($glob_win32_perl or $glob_cygwin_perl); # We require that we are in the "mysql-test" directory @@ -418,6 +418,7 @@ if ( $glob_cygwin_perl ) { # Windows programs like 'mysqld' needs Windows paths + # Bullshit!
