how to compile sqlb2.4.6 under freebsd4.6?

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi !

I use sqlb for mysql, it seems work fine under redhat7.3, but i can't compile it under freebsd4.6,  it cause something wrong as following

-----------------------------------------------------------------
In file included from sqlb.c:8:
sqlb.h:22: popt.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I had installed "popt" in bsd and I could find the file popt.h in /usr/local/include directory.

Any sugesstion. Thanks!

OK, sorry for the pain !

The problem comes from a miss in the configure.ac file. I will try to fix it for the next version.

In the meantime, here is a little hack so that you can compile sqlb :

Modify each header file that report this error by replacing :

#include <popt.h>

by

#include "/usr/local/include/popt.h"

But you must check that the ./configure script have found the lib during the check otherwise you may have an error at link time.

I know it's a nasty solution but it must works fine ;)

If you have other problems, don't hesitate to post a reply !!

good luck and thanks for using SQLB !

This problem comes from an incompatibility between freebsd and other unixes.

under freedsb, the function semctl() in declared as the following :

semctl (int, int, int, union semun)

and on other unixes it is declared like this :

semctl (int, int, int, ...)

So under other unixes, the "union semun" is not declared in system header file contrary to Freebsd.

So I can prepare you a fix but I need the declaration of this union on your system.

It must be declared in /usr/include/sys/sem.h or in /usr/include/sys/ipc.h and must look like the following :

union semun {
     int     val;  
     struct  semid_ds *buf;
     u_short *array;
};
