As regards the HP part of your question:
The 'hppa1' part of the package name is a reference to the processor architecture. PA2 machines will run PA1 code unchanged (in theory); the reverse is not true. HPUX 10.20 is a 32-bit release. Although you can install a 32-bit version of HPUX 11, most v11 installations are 64-bit, but will run 32-bit apps without complaint. Which shouldn't be an issue for you in this case, as the packages would seem to be 32-bit. Short version: the hp 10.20 package would appear to the lowest common denominator. You might also check the HP porting and archive center (hpux.cs.utah.edu) for an swinstall-able package. Your customers will appreciate the ability to cleanly remove your software when they're done with it. www.sunfreeware.com is a good source for Sun binaries. www.bullfreeware.com for AIX packages. HTH. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Which binary fro which platforms? I have a product for which I would like to use mySql to hold information used in a product demonstration. The product runs on Windows, HP, Solaris and AIX. The demonstration (and the mySql database) will be distributed with the product. I am trying to determine the correct binary distribution of mySql to distribute to end users. I would like to use stable releases only, in binary format. For Windows, the correct release is pretty clear. However, say a customer has HP 11.x. The "current stable release" on mysql.org is for hp 10.20 (mysql-3.23.51-hp-hpux10.20-hppa1); there is a release on sourceforge for hp 11.0 (mysql-hpux-11.0-hppa2), but is that considered stable? If not, can they use the binary for 10.20 instead? What if the customer later upgrades to a newer version of HP - must they then use a different version of the binary? Similar question pertain to Solaris (currently 2.8) and AIX (currently 4.3). Thanks for any pointers.
