I found the answers to my previous question about MySQL in the manual. Doh!
However, when I tried to compile MySQL, I ran into the following error: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile cc -DDEFAULT_CHARSET_HOME="\"/export/home/bteale/mysql-3.23.47\"" -DDATADIR="\"/export/home/bteale/mysql-3.23.47/var\"" -DSHAREDIR="\"/export/home/bteale/mysql-3.23.47/share/mysql\"" -DUNDEF_THREADS_HACK -DDONT_USE_RAID -I./../include -I../include -I./.. -I.. -I.. -O -DDBUG_OFF -Xa -fast -native -xstrconst -mt -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/export/home/bteale/pkgs/mysql-3.23.47/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -c hash.c rm -f .libs/hash.lo cc -DDEFAULT_CHARSET_HOME=\"/export/home/bteale/mysql-3.23.47\" -DDATADIR=\"/export/home/bteale/mysql-3.23.47/var\" -DSHAREDIR=\"/export/home/bteale/mysql-3.23.47/share/mysql\" -DUNDEF_THREADS_HACK -DDONT_USE_RAID -I./../include -I../include -I./.. -I.. -I.. -O -DDBUG_OFF -Xa -fast -native -xstrconst -mt -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/export/home/bteale/pkgs/mysql-3.23.47/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -c hash.c -KPIC -DPIC cc: Warning: -xarch=native has been explicitly specified, or implicitly specified by a macro option, -xarch=native on this architecture implies -xarch=v8plusa which generates code that does not run on pre UltraSPARC processors "hash.c", line 189: reference to static variable "hash_key" in inline extern function "hash.c", line 229: cannot recover from previous errors cc: acomp failed for hash.c make[2]: *** [hash.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/home/bteale/pkgs/mysql-3.23.47/libmysql' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I looked into hash.c, and the relevant code is as follows: 183: #ifndef _FORTREC_ 184: inline 185: #endif 186: uint rec_hashnr(HASH *hash,const byte *record) 187: { 188: uint length; 189: byte *key=hash_key(hash,record,&length,0); 190: return (*hash->calc_hashnr)(key,length); 191: } To fix the problem I poked around, and ended up commenting out lines 183-185. After this it compiles fine. Will this lead to any problems?
