Not sure if this is known or not but I just wanted to let you guys
know that MySQL 5.1.21 fails the make. I've never had this problem on
other versions of mysql. It looks like GNU make worked all the way
through but why won't regular make work anymore?
You didn't give much useful information in your message (not even a
line number!), but I bet I found the problem.
Lines 149 and 150 of Makefile.am have spaces instead of tabs as
indentation characters. Even the documentation for GNU make says that
"A tab character must come at the beginning of every command line to
distinguish command lines from other lines in the makefile.", so it
really should have failed too. Fix those two lines before running
./configure and your build should run okay.
If you refer to the "Makefile" in the root directory of the MySQL
sources: This has been spotted and fixed, 5.1.22 sources do not contain
it any more.
I fully agree to requiring tab characters for indenting actions in
Makefiles. Sorry for it ever appearing in published sources !
