[Mingw-users] How to compile MySQLC++

[Romain P. <pa...@tu...>]

Hi all,



I've just downloaded the MySQLC++ sources from www.mysql.com
and I can not compile it.

First, Do I have to install autoconf and automake (and perl where do I
get it ?) or is there an another way to compile it or to use it with
MinGW ?

An another question, does anybody use the MySQLC++ for Visual C++,
include files and dll with MinGW. I can not use it the compiler
complains about many many things




Best regards

R.Pac

Ooo, your a brave soul. :)  I haven't tried that one yet. :-D

You as an end user of a package should not need autoconf and other 
autotools; but, that assumes the package maintainer knows what they're 
doing.  If you need to execute a configure script then you'll need MSYS, 
and I'll suggest the snapshot, see http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml. 
  If you have a .dsw VC++ style project file then you execute the 
dsw2mak gawk script you can find in the mingw-utils package.  If you 
really need autoconf, etc then you need the msysDTK package.

And in case it's not obvious enough, it generates a file for make to

it seems very good but I will try to compile the MySQLC++ sources
anyway.
(if it is possible under cygwin it should be possible with MinGW !!!)


See you

Where is the documentation for the dsw2mak script ?
Actually with MySQLC++ for VisualC++ see
(http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-mysql++.html)

when I execute the gaw scrip I've got :

mysqlpp.dsw
mysqlpp.dsw: Global: unknown section
mysqlpp.dsp

then when I do

make -f mysqlpp.mak 

make fails with this error:

The script is part of mingw-utils but as far as I know there is no
documentation apart from in the script itself.

If you are using the the base 1.7.9 source it looks like you will have to
apply the "patch for GCC 3.0" followed by a patch for GCC 3.2 (I am assuming
you are using GCC 3.2).

If the makefile works you can ignore this.

The only way to find out why this error occurs is to look at the source
code. It is likely caused by using non-standard C++ features, which could be
why the patches are needed for GCC 3.2.

yes I am but see below.

Which other package do I need to compile it ?
(I've already, mingw, mingw-utils and msysDTK.)

Do I need a source version for mysql server ?

Makefile does not work as you saw.

I've tried the sources' package.
As is it written in the README file, I have to run

autoconf which outputs

"autoconf 2.13 is required for this script"

In fact I've got 2.11 where is autoconf 2.13 for mingw ?

and how do I apply a patch ?


Thanks for helping

Apparently you need the "MySQL client library", but I don't know much more
than that. Perhaps if you ask on a mysql mailing list somebody will know
more about this. You might be able to get this client library from the MSVC
binary distribution of mysql++ 1.7.1.

From what I saw there is probably nothing wrong with the Makefile, because
the problem is in the source code.

You should not need to run autoconf if the source is packaged properly.
Anyway, if you are using the MSVC makefile then autoconf is irrelevant.

I have installed msysDTK-1.0.1 and it reports version 2.56, but it will
probably be a lot easier if you keep trying with the MSVC-based makefile if
possible.

1. Extract the mysql++-1.7.9 source into a directory
2. Extract mysqlpp-gcc-3.0.patch into the same directory
3. Extract mysql++-gcc-3.2.patch into the same directory
4. cd to the directory (in MSYS)
5. Type: patch -p 1 mysqlpp-gcc-3.0.patch
6. Type: patch -p 1 mysql++-gcc-3.2.patch

but those patches should be applied to the source package not to the
MSVC ?

If the MSVC source you are talking about is not the 1.7.9 source, then no
you won't be able to patch the MSVC source. You could either modify the
1.7.1 source manually to make it work with GCC 3.2 or if you decide to use
the patched 1.7.9 you will probably have to use "configure" with MSYS.
