What's the vcpp.exe package ?  Is this VC++ 6.0 ?

I guess that's the Processor Pack. It's a free download from 
Microsoft that contains a free version of MASM 6.xx.

For normal users, we should make it trivial to build without
assembler.

So I guess we are agree on this.

One the other hand, the best thing would be if we could get the
assembler functions to build with VC++ 6.0

I'm no big coder, but it seemed like it shouldn't be too hard
to adjust the code for MASM 6.xx. See the following quote from
my earlier mail to Miguel. Note: the linker problem should be
fixed in Visual Studio SP 3.

*

The MASM program converts command-line options from MASM style 
to ML style, adds options to maximize compatibility, and calls 
ML.EXE.

Note
MASM.EXE is provided to maintain compatibility with old makefiles. 
For new makefiles, use the more powerful ML driver.

Well, the free version doesn't contain masm.exe, only ml.exe. Looks 
like ml supercedes masm. I changed the custom build steps for 
strings/strings.asm and strings/strxmov.asm to reflect ml's parameter
syntax, i. e. 
masm -Mx -t -DDOS386 -DM_I386 $(InputPath),$(Outdir)\$(InputName).obj,,,
=
ml -Cx -Zm -nologo -DDOS386 -DM_I386 $(InputPath) $(OutDir)\$(InputName).obj

and got this:

mysqld-nt.exe - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)

Note the + sign appended to strings.obj name. I'm not faimiliar with 
VS enough to solve this.

If this is solved, people interested in building MySQL on win32 machines 
will be able to benefit from the assembler code without the need to buy 
the commercial version of MASM. And that would be a Good Thing(tm), IMO.

BTW, the -Zm option is required for compatibility with MASM 5.x, otherwise 
it emits A2032 on these lines (except ecx,P+SIZEPTR*2[ebp] is actually 
A2026):

mov edi,P-SIZEPTR[esp]  ;p1
mov edi,P-SIZEPTR[esp]  ;to
mov edi,P-SIZEPTR[esp]  ;p1
mov edi,P-SIZEPTR[esp]  ; str
mov edi,P-SIZEPTR[esp]  ; s1
mov ecx,P+SIZEPTR*2[ebp]; Length of memory-area
mov edi,P-SIZEPTR[esp]  ; EDI - s1

(see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q119/8/72.asp)

The index operator '[]' is now at the very top of the MASM operator 
precedence list, while the binary + and - operators are in the 
lower half.

Re: Query with multiple form fields

2001-03-03 Thread Cynic

aply logic in the app. i. e. build the where clause from the 
filled in fields only:

$where = array() ;
foreach( $HTTP_GET_VARS as $v ) {
if( '' != $v ) {
$where[] = "'%$v%'" ;
}
}
$where = implode( ' OR ' , $where ) ;
$query = "select blah $where" ;

This is total crap but I've been up all night, so sorry. But 
at least you get the idea.

build problems on NT 5

2001-02-27 Thread Cynic

Should MySQL build out of the box on NT? 

I tried to build 3.23.32 and 3.23.33 on NT 5, and both 
attempts failed on the assembler code. The custom build 
step for src/strings/Strings.asm is as follows:

masm -Mx  -t -DDOS386 -DM_I386   $(InputPath),$(OutDir)\$(InputName).obj,,,

I believe I have MASM installed properly (comes as part of 
MS Processor Pack, not much to screw about it), but there's 
no 'masm.exe', just ml.exe.

Configuration: strings - Win32 Release
Performing Custom Build Step on .\Strxmov.asm
'masm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Error executing c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.

mysqld-nt.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


If I change the custom build step for src/strings/Strings.asm
to invoke ml instead, I get a complaint about uknown parameters,
and the file doesn't compile either. 

So, what do I need to build MySQL on NT?

build problems

2001-02-21 Thread Cynic

[Please cc me, I'm not on the list.]

Hi there.

I'm trying to compile mysql-3.23.33 on NT 5, and have run 
into this:

Performing Custom Build Step on .\Strxmov.asm
'masm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Error executing c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.

mysqld-opt.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


I have downloaded masm-6.15 and installed it. the compiler
is however called ml.exe, so I changed the custom build step
on strxmov.asm to load ml, but now I get this:

Performing Custom Build Step on .\Strxmov.asm
MASM : warning A4018: invalid command-line option : -Mx
 Assembling: .\Strxmov.asm,.\release\Strxmov.obj,,,
MASM : fatal error A1000: cannot open file : .\Strxmov.asm,.\release\Strxmov.obj,,,
Error executing c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.

mysqld-opt.exe - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)


I'm neither familiar with MASM nor assembler programming in 
general. could someone enlighten me as to what changes are 
necessary?

BTW, inclusion of build instructions for win32 platforms 
would be nice...
