Description: When compiling mysql-3.23.36, many *.cc files caused a compilation error that said that __tz has multiple data definitions in /usr/include/sys/time.h. It first happens in the client subdirectory, but happens many times after that as well. I am using RH Linux 2.2.16-22smp gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) How-To-Repeat: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql make Fix: The problem is in sys/time.h. This definition: extern int gettimeofday (struct timeval *__restrict __tv, __timezone_ptr_t __restrict __tz) __THROW; Above that in sys/time.h is this: #if defined __USE_GNU || defined __USE_BSD typedef struct timezone *__timezone_ptr_t; #else typedef void *__timezone_ptr_t; #endif The problem is that when compiling mysql, __USE_GNU is not defined, so in the declaration of gettimeofday, the wrong type is declared for __tz, which conflicts with its definition somewhere else. SO, in the mysql-3.23.36 source directory, in include/global.h, if you define __USE_GNU before the lines to include sys/time.h, #define __USE_GNU the compilation runs smoothly, with no more problems.
