Upsize BCP / News: Recent posts

I've just finally uploaded the Visual C++ source for the WIN32 half of Upsize BCP. I haven't put the source into a release but it is available via anonymous cvs access for those interested. One future idea is to combine upsize-bcp-unix into upsize-bcp-win32 using the MySQL WIN32 C++ API. More on that in the near future.

Upsize BCP v1.2.5 has been released. This new release incorporates autoconf/automake. There is no longer a need to edit headers by hand - whew! ;) Currently I'm working on desperately needed *documentation*... The next release will include a man page and a detailed INSTALLation guide.

I have almost finished setting up autoconf/automake for the project. Currently there is some manual configuration required before compiling the unix upsizer. First, the Makefile most likely needs your attention. The location of the mysql include path and the mysql library path need to be set. The second mod is in upsize.h. The BASEPATH define should be set to wherever you install the upsize binary. The DUMPPATH should be set to wherever you store the BCP dump data generated by the win32 Upsize BCP application. This is temporary and will no longer be required after the next release which is coming very shortly.

My CVS account is now functioning. I've just uploaded the source for the unix half of Upsize BCP. The win32 source is yet to come. I have to get the source from my home machine.
