Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] My first mail, my first plugin, my fisrt SEGFAULT

Hi Javier,

> I attach the first release of plugin_mysql.

Thanks, I did check it into CVS

As for your questions regarding CVS, you can of course use Cervisia or 
something similar, but the 'basic' usage is quite simple, too:

you need ssh installed, and you have to tell CVS to use SSH:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
(maybe add this to your .profile)

First-Time check out: (all in one line!)
cvs -z3 -d:ext:dev...@cv...:/cvsroot/lcd4linux co 
lcd4linux
(substitute 'developername' with your SF account)
will create you a new directory 'lcd4linux'

Updates from the CVS (should be done very regularly, especially before 
you start working on the code):
cvs -z3 update
(in the lcd4linux directory)

I want you not to do any check ins at this time (I want this from every 
new developer), rather send me a patch with the following command:

cvs -z3 diff -u >patch.txt


As for your plugin, I added a quite simple autoconf check for the 
mysql.h, and depending on this parts of the plugin will not be compiled 
(and will not produce errors for the missing mysql.h)

As I don't have mysql installed here, I could net test it, but I'm shure 
it will not work: The library is not specified anywhere. We need to 
create a better test for MySQL in the configure.in, which detects not 
only the existence of the header, but the library, too, and sets the 
LFLAGS accordingly. Anybody has a ready-to-use autoconf macro for this?

bye, Michael
