[mdb-dev] Getting the CVS to build and seg faults

[Tom W. <mdb...@ma...>]

Here is how I got the CVS download to compile on my system (Slackware 9.1)

Edit the mdbtools/configure.ini file

Delete the line:
AC_CONFIG_FILES([src/Makefile])

Edit the line:
AC_OUTPUT(src/util/Makefile src/extras/Makefile Makefile include/Makefile 
src/Makefile src/libmdb/Makefile include/Makefile src/sql/Makefile 
src/odbc/Makefile doc/Makefile src/gmdb2/Makefile 
src/gmdb2/gladefiles/Makefile src/gmdb2/pixmaps/Makefile 
src/gmdb2/help/Makefile src/gmdb2/help/C/Makefile mdbtools.spec)

To remove the duplicate include/Makefile

export SED=sed

The last export command also needs to be carried out as root for 'make 
install' to work.

Unfortunatly my data base has carrige returns in memo fields which cause 
mdb-export to seg fault every time. If anyone has a fix for this can they 
please let me know.

I submitted a patch for mdb-export.c to:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=302294&group_id=2294&func=browse

[I think I might have got the URL wrong in a previous
post]

that allows you to specify the row delimiter for
exactly this reason.  I was then able to export using
'|' to mark the end of the row and then tell MySQL to
import the data with LINES TERMINATED BY '|'.  It was
part of some changes I made to do something like
mysqldump.  I have not tested this on any other
backend.

Thanks for this David,
I've tried applying the patches to the rc2 version of mdbtools however I 
am having another problem getting it to compile as it is complaining about 
an undefined reference to `log10'
Does anyone have ideas how to solve this one?
Thanks
Tom

Did you apply David Mansfield's combined patches
before applying my patches?  The log10 bit seems to
come from his patch to data.c.  I wrote my patches
after applying his and did not really delve too deeply
into his changes and am therefore not sure how
dependent my changes are on his changes -- although it
seems that they could well be.  I included David
Mansfield's combined patch in the tar.gz file.  Take a
look at the README for more details.

HTH.
