Re: [Samba] Samba with Mysql, compilation problem.
Hello Collen, Thanks for your help again! I have tryed already to rename mysql.so to the expected plugin name, it just cant be loaded. These have been done with version 3.0.14 AND 3.0.20, it has the same effect = nothing. I will probably follow your advices and try to find a minor version before 3.0.14. But before i want to try with what you say here --enable-static=mysql can you explain me what it does and what i have to expect? Thanks a lot Collen!

So there should be a misstake in some Makefile or rule file, the problem is at compilation-time! I will try to get the 3.0.11 from somewhere (I did not find it at the link you gave me that is why i took 3.0.09). Please, if you know somebody who can make the change in the makefile scripts, tell me, or if i can get a way to compile pdb_mysql.c alone, i'm interested too. I think now it is pointless to play arround with configure script parametters, because it doesn't propagate correctly directives to the compilation makefiles. N.B.: The path to be given to the configure script seems to be the path to mysql_config BINARY, in the configure script is made a call to it with parametters to get the include path... So don't tell anymore people to symlink if they have compiled from source, just tell the configure script to ask the binary program mysql_config (in configure script get the lines with $MYSQL_CONFIG $mysqlconf_args --cflags | sed -e s/'//g) ...
