>Description: One of the configure checks is faulty. Specifically, this one: # Check 3rd argument of getthostbyname_r ac_save_CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS" AC_CACHE_CHECK([3 argument to gethostname_r routines], mysql_cv_gethostname_arg, AC_LANG_SAVE AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS if test "$ac_cv_prog_gxx" = "yes" then CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -Werror" fi AC_TRY_COMPILE( [#if !defined(SCO) && !defined(__osf__) #define _REENTRANT #endif #include <pthread.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <netdb.h>], [int skr; skr = gethostbyname_r((const char *) 0, (struct hostent*) 0, (hostent_data*) 0) ;], mysql_cv_gethostname_arg=hostent_data, mysql_cv_gethostname_arg=char)) AC_LANG_RESTORE CXXFLAGS="$ac_save_CXXFLAGS" if test "$mysql_cv_gethostname_arg" = "hostent_data" then AC_DEFINE(HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_RETURN_INT) fi Now, this check fails because there IS NO "hostent_data" on my system. "info libc" says: - Function: int gethostbyname_r (const char *restrict NAME, struct hostent *restrict RESULT_BUF, char *restrict BUF, size_t BUFLEN, struct hostent **restrict RESULT, int *restrict H_ERRNOP) >How-To-Repeat: Try to compile on my system. ;-) >Fix: Hmmm... >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Matthias Urlichs >Organization: noris network AG >MySQL support: licence >Synopsis: The new gethostbyname_r test fails >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Category: mysql >Class: >Release: mysql-3.23.29a-gamma (noris network MySQL) >Environment: System: Linux play.smurf.noris.de 2.4.0s-noris-t5-2 #58 SMP Wed Jul 19 10:24:19 CEST 2000 i686 unknown Architecture: i686 Some paths: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc GCC: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease) Compilation info: CC='gcc' CFLAGS='' CXX='c++' CXXFLAGS='-DTHREAD_SAFE_CLIENT -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti' LDFLAGS='' LIBC: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 8 2000 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.1.3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4118299 Sep 20 1999 /lib/libc-2.1.2.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4123003 Jun 8 2000 /lib/libc-2.1.3.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19203634 Jun 8 2000 /usr/lib/libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Jun 8 2000 /usr/lib/libc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2042654 Oct 27 17:09 /usr/lib/libc-client.a Configure command: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-debug --enable-shared --without-mit-threads --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --localstatedir=/var/mysql --enable-thread-safe-client --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --enable-large-files --without-readline --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysql.socket --enable-strcoll '--with-comment=noris network MySQL' --with-docs --with-bench --without-berkeley-db --without-bench --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
