Any hints on how to get it right?
The file type should read "shared object" instead of "relocatable". The correct procedure for building a udf is in the manual, under "Compiling and Installing User-definable Functions". For FreeBSD, you can pretty much use the example in the docs: gcc -I /usr/local/include/mysql -shared -o udf_myfunc.so myfunc.c If your file is c++, add "-felide-constructors -fno-implicit-templates -fno-exceptions fno-rtti", just to match the rest of mysqld (not sure if it's required or not). -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
