I have Mac OS X 10.2.6 with December 2002 Dev Tools and the Dec 2002 gcc updater, which means I'm using gcc 3.3. Following the directions in INSTALL-SOURCE, I ran configure with:
CC=gcc \
CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer" \
CXX=gcc \
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors
-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data \
--with-extra-charsets=complex \
--enable-thread-safe-client \
--enable-local-infile \
--disable-sharedConfigure identified my system as "powerpc-apple-darwin6.6", chugged along for awhile, then died with:
checking for char... no checking size of char... 0 configure: error: No size for char type. A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have libm.a in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place. If this is the problem, install the static libraries and try again. If this isn't the problem, examine config.log for possible errors. If you want to report this, use 'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log!
After some time spent learning that the warning about libm.a was a red herring, I looked in config.log and found the following:
configure:14729: checking for char configure:14756: gcc -c -O -DDBUG_OFF -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -traditional-cpp -DHAVE_DARWIN _THREADS -D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ -DHAVE_BROKEN_REAL PATH -DFN_NO_CASE_SENCE conftest.c >&5 In file included from configure:14760: /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/inttypes.h:39: error: syntax error at '#' token /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/inttypes.h:39: error: parse error before "if" /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/inttypes.h:40: error: syntax error at '#' token /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/inttypes.h:41: error: syntax error at '#' token /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/inttypes.h:42: error: syntax error at '#' token
It seems the test didn't fail so much as conftest.c didn't even compile. Looking back through config.log, I saw the same thing happened in the tests for off_t and stat.st_rdev.
Then I noticed that configure added -traditional-cpp to the CFLAGS for these tests. A simple test revealed that gcc 3.3 likes inttypes.h without -traditional-cpp, but thinks it's badly broken with -traditional-cpp.
Looking through configure, I found (starting on line 12763)
*darwin6*)
if test "$ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu" = "yes"
then
FLAGS="-traditional-cpp -DHAVE_DARWIN_THREADS -D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ -DHAVE_BROKEN_REALPATH -DFN_NO_CASE_SENCE"
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $FLAGS"
CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $FLAGS"
MAX_C_OPTIMIZE="-O"
fi

I deleted -traditional-cpp from the FLAGS in configure, then reran it as before. Configure completed successfully, after which I was able to build with make. Running `make test` resulted in "all tests passed." I've installed it, and it seems to be working.
Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'm going to conclude that this was a configure bug and that removing -traditional-cpp was the correct fix. In that case, configure ought to be fixed for everyone.
