Re: Urgent help needed - SCO Unix binary

[Chris Nolan]

Basically, the stability of the build is dependant on the following factors:

* Suitable functions in your C library for threaded applications.

UnixWare is apparently fine in this category and doesn't require any 
workarounds. Installing the latest patches and things would be in your 
best interest though.

* The compiler you use.

I'm pretty sure that Skunkware includes GCC 2.95.x . This is one of the 
recommended compilers for building MySQL binaries. If you install this 
and can get a clean compile, you'll probably be fine.

Hi Chris,

I want it on SCO Unixware 7.1.1 (intel based)

I did see it in the installation manual of MySQL where they give some
instructions for building the binaries for SCO Unixware. Can I go ahead and
build it. How do you see the stability factor of such builds.

Hi!

If memory serves me correctly, MySQL AB have stopped issuing SCO
OpenServer and SCO UnixWare binaries publicly and will only be providing
them to customers who take out commercial licences. This is probably due
to the fact that OpenServer and UnixWare cost a lot compared ot other
OSes, don't represent a huge percentage of the MySQL userbase and that
the UDK for each is some disgusting amount to purchase.
Which version of UnixWare is it? A workaround might be available in the
form of the Linux Kernel Personality. Additionally, the Skunkware
repository might be able to help you out if SCO's servers are currently
accessible in this virus-infested internet we all wade in.
I recently migrated a customer from UnixWare 7.1.1 to Redhat AS 2.1
(they had a copy that a mate sold them cheap) for this and a few other
reasons (including "Wow! The Redhat desktop looks pretty!").
Regards,

Chris

Hi,

I could not find the binary for SCO Unixware (Intel based) in download
section. I suppose mysql supports this environment too. May I know as to
where can I find this binary. Do I need to build this myself?
TIA
