Just to avoid duplicate work, let me just mention that I am now starting to look into this issue. I will try to find a good way to make XtraDB compile/work on all the platforms/compilers we want to support, and report back what I discover. - Kristian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
