Hi Chris, I have tried to compile following version of the MySQL under cygwin.
- 3.23.47 - 3.23.50 - 4.0.1 I was able to compile (client + server ) all of mentioned version, BUT most of the test have failed except for the version 3.23.50 that seem to me to work in most cases but not in all. I am still exploring the cygwin MySQL and therefore there could be people with other experience. For your information I was able to connect to my cygwin MySQL Server (3.23.50) with the MyCC GUI interface as well as compile the DBD::mysql Perl module that I am using for "LXR" source code indexer and cross-referencer under Cygwin. I have to admit that I am not sure about reliability be my compiled MySQL Server. I am able to use only the "safe_mysqld" variant of the MySQL startup procedure. (For some reason in MySQL version 4.0.1 it is called "mysqld_safe"). When I tried to use the Perl module (compiled with cygwin MySQL client v3.23.50) to connect to the Win32 MySQL server 4.0.x via "mysql.sock" I was unsuccessful. I do not know whether it is possible at all. The Win32 MySQL server didn't created the socket file. Maybe my configuration is incorect. My suggestion is that you use the MySQL version 3.23.50. Only this version I was able to put alive.
