On 30-Nov-01, Ravi Raman said something totally profound about RE: compile problems on Solaris8 that made me ponder...

I've got a solid mini-HOWTO on compiling MySQL on Solaris. < http://users.talstar.com/forager/MySQL-HOWTO.html > This is what we use internally. I have successfully compiled and installed MySQL on Solaris 2.4, 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, and 8. Normally, I get my packages from SunFreeware. As of 07/01, the Solaris 8 Companion CD comes with the latest versions of bison and flex, as well as gcc 2.95.3. Most programs I compile will not compile with gcc3.0.x from SunFreeware. You should have, at least, bison, flex, and gcc installed. I also recommend using tcp-wrappers. Package v7.6 is included in the companion CD, but I haven't tried them. I used the source to compile two versions: auth and non-auth. Your PATH should be at least: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin If you use any of the companion CD packages, you should have /opt/sfw/bin directly after /usr/local/bin. That should be enough to get you going. I have tested this time and time again and various right-off-the-CD Solaris installations. Don't forget to check the MySQl on-line documentation for performance information. Could save you a few headaches on slower boxes (I have MySQL running on a 40MHz Sparc with Solaris 7.) Now if I can just port this over to Amiga :) -- Alan W.
