So judging from what Jeremiah is saying below, the mysql binaries in these repository are functional? Some of them have dates from 2010 so they are very recent so I am assuming these are active ports. Unlike Bjoern, when I am able to install the common libraries but when I try to install the server it fails (on the N800) giving errors on files it cannot find. Any ideas? Bjoern can you share how you
install the debian bins in your case?

thanks

Hi,

the last weeks I tried to get a new version of mysql to extras-devel (http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/). Therefore I updated the old version to the version from debian stable but I didn't tested the package carefully. At the moment the package has many disadvantages. The perl dependencies of that package are really bad, packages are to big for the N900 and mysql is installed in root dir. Now I am trying to get a new mysql version (latest of the 5.0 series) for maemo with a new package description build from scratch. Hopefully I can finish that work in the next weeks and upload a new package. Any help is appreciated ;-)

What is the list of the perl dependencies? Maybe I can help you out there.

Jeremiah

    Hi all,

      most likely I will use what Tony has ported for the N800.
    However, poking around
    the maemo repos I saw a few links to mysql server and client
    packages (.deb ). Does
    anyone know what these are and who the authors are? I tried
    installing them on a
    5.2008 N800 but they do not install correctly:

    Thanks

        Hi Tony,

        thanks for the response - I have a feeling you may be right
        on this one so I will give it a shot
        and let you know how it works out. Either way thanks a bunch
        for the good help.

        Take care

                Hi Tony,

                   excellent and thanks for the good info. I am not
                sure what Java libraries I may need to port
                but I will give it a shot to see how it behaves. All
                I need is pretty much an elementary table
                to be accessed through a servlet I already wrote
                running under Java CDC on the N800. Is
                there a J connector available for this port I can
                use? You said you have been using this only
                for Perl-based apps so I am not sure if you ever
                tried any Java apps with it.

            Hi Demetris,

            I haven't tried any Java applications myself; it's a
            language I tried to learn many years ago and gave up
            because I found its OO nature too painful to use.

            My guess would be that it would just be a matter of
            picking up the necessary libraries from wherever they can
            be found (the MySQL website?) and putting them in the
            right place. If my understanding of Java is correct, then
            the bit-code is architecture-independent. Though my
            understanding may well be flawed...
