MySQL 3.23.40 for OS/2 Warp build 1
====================================================
Contents
--------
Welcome to the latest port of MySQL for OS/2 and eComStation.
Modules included in this build:
- protocol data compression
- transaction support
- perl BDB/BDI support (not in this package)
- Library and header files for C/CPP developers included
This package has been built using IBM VAC++ 4.0
The MySQL server is distributed under the GPL license. Please refer to
the file COPYING for the license information.
The MySQL client library is distributed under the LGPL license.
Please refer to the file COPYING for the license information.
Most of the MySQL clients are distributed under the GPL license, but
some files may be in the public domain.
The latest information about MySQL can be found at: http://www.mysql.com
To get the latest information about this port please subscribe to our
newsgroup/mailinglist mysql2 at www.egroups.com.
To see what MySQL can do, take a look at the features section in the
manual. For future plans see the TODO appendix in the manual.
New features/bug fixes history is in the news appendix in the manual.
For the currently known bugs/misfeatures (known errors) see the bugs
appendix in the manual. The OS/2 section contains notes that are
specific to the MySQL OS/2 and eComStation version.
Please note that MySQL is a constantly moving target. New builds for
Linux are made available every week. This port may therefore be a few
minor versions after the latest Linux/Win32 builds but its generally
more stable than the "latest and greates" port.
MySQL is brought to you by: TcX DataKonsult AB & MySQL Finland AB
This port is brought to you by:
Yuri Dario <mc6530@mclink.it>, development, porting
Timo Maier <tam@gmx.de>, documentation, testing
John M Alfredsson <jma@jmast.se>, documentation, testing
Installation
------------
Prerequisite:
- OS/2 Warp 3 with FP ?? or later,
OS/2 Warp 4 with FP ?? or later,
OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business,
eComStation 1.0 (prev 1/2 OK)
- TCPIP 4.x installed (requires 32-bit tcpip stack)
- WarpIN installer 0.9.12 (ftp://ftp.os2.org/xworkplace/warpin-0-9-12.zip)
Note: probably some fixpak level is required on both Warp3&Warp4 to
support >2GB file sizes.
Save the installation archives into a temporary folder and double click
on the main package; otherwise you can drop the mysql package in your
WarpIN object or type
WARPIN MYSQL-3-23-??-B1.WPI
from the command line.
The configuration file for MySQL is named my.cnf and it is placed into
your %ETC% directory. Usually it located into the boot driver under
x:\MPTN\ETC
If the installation detect an existing configuration file, this will be
renamed to my.cnf.bak; your current settings aren't migrated to current
installation. This file is not deleted by uninstall process.
Startup options for MySQL daemon could be added there.
As default, client connections uses data compression: if you don't like it,
remove the following from your %ETC%\my.cnf
[client]
compress
The server switches automatically compression mode on client request.
SMP systems: while my developement system is a SMP one, and here MySQL seems
to run fine with two processors enabled, keep in mind that both EMX runtime
and current thread model are not SMP safe.
This release comes with DLL client library MYSQL.DLL: it is installed by
default into mysql\bin together with client applications. Copy it to your
x:\OS2\DLL or another directory in your LIBPATH to run command line
utilities from every place.
Documentation
-------------
Documentation is provided in separate files. You can use either
the PDF documentation (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) or the
INF documentation (requires OS/2 view or NewView).
The PDF documentation is found in MYSQL-3-23-28-PDF.WPI and
the INF documentation is found in MYSQL-3-23-28-INF.WPI
The latest documentation can always be downloaded from
http://www.mysql.com. However this documentation may
no fully apply to this port.
The INF documentation could contain errors because of semi-automatic
translation from texi original.
Support
-------
Since MySQL is a OpenSource freeware product there are no
formal support options available.
Please subscribe to mysql2 at www.egroups.com to get in contact
with other users using this port.
http://www.egroups.com/group/mysql2
This newsgroup/mailinglist is the official "home" of this port.
Know problems
-------------
alter_table.test and show_check are failing, reporting a different status
message: actually seems only a different text, no bugs in table checking.
Apache/2 + PHP
--------------
To avoid problems with different socket when you use PHP and Apache
webserver, get the PHP4 module from the Apache Server for OS/2 homepage
http://silk.apana.org.au/apache/
Developing MySQL
----------------
If you want to help us develop MySQL for OS2/eComStation please join
the mysql2 mailinglist at www.egroups.com and ask for help to set up
your environment!
All questions that are specific to the OS2/eComStation version should
be posted to this list! Please remember to include all relevant
information that may help solve your problem.
Building MySQL (EMX)
--------------------
NOTE: these instructions are outdated
db-3.2.x: before compiling MySQL, you need to setup Berkeley DB. Untar
the distribution, enter dist directory and run
attrib -r * /s
sh -c s_config
to create proper aclocal macros and configure headers.
In the src directory you will find patches used to build this release
of MySQL.
You can run 'sh -c config.status' to create current makefiles without
running autoconf & configure.
apply previous patches (if not already included)
sh -c autoconf (upgrade scripts)
sh -c configure.os2 (config system)
edit config.status:
s%@MYSQL_UNIX_ADDR@%\\socket\\MySQL%g
s%@LN_CP_F@%cp.exe%g
replace -O2 -m486 with -mpentiumpro
sh -c config.status (upgrade makefiles again)
edit libmysql\Makefile
remove all occurences of -Zexe
replace libmysqlclient with libmysql (case sensitive search)
edit client\Makefile
replace libmysqlclient with libmysql (case sensitive search)
make
After config.status, you have to edit include\mysql_version.h and correct
the socket definition (\\socket\\MySQL is correct).
If you go with configure, you have to change LN_CP_F macro from 'ln -s' to
'cp' and correct all makefiles (sh -c config.status will do it).
