Title: Mysql on c760
Post by: jp40 on January 13, 2004, 04:05:46 am

Just for interest at the moment,

I am in the process of porting Mysql 4.0.17 to the c760.

I have it running, but need to test it properly(manual install). Once that is done I will see if I can package it up for release.

I may try getting postgres to run in the same way ?

How about interbase-firebird?

http://firebird.sf.net (http://firebird.sf.net)

The rpm version for 386 is only 2,5 mb and the windows embeded is little as 1,4 mb.

How big is your port of mysql?

Regards.

I have not looked at interbase-firebird, I tend to use Postgres and Mysql for my web applications.

The stripped install set is about 3.5Mb but that includes stuff that we dont really need plus all the static libraries for compiling your own tools.

on the system side it need ncurses for the command line tools.

I have a small test of using apache with php and the latest phpMyAdmin which seems to work

What system did you prepare it for? Sharp/Cacko Qt, Cacko X11, OZ or tkROM? Is it fine for c860?

How did you pass the problem of not having threads in the zaurus glibc or portable threads? Did the ./configure worked ok?

I couldn\'t compile mysql due to this problem. And portable threads are not ARM safe.

I setup cross dev system on RH9 with user set to use pick up the cross dev tools not the core op sys tools.
 I commented out all the refernces to compiling test programs in the configure script. This ran and produced the make files. I had to add a couple of libs to the build path for ncurses.
There are a couple of programs that genrate other files, so i ran a parallel build under Rh9 and copied the genrated files into the appropriate places.

All in all a bit messy but in the end I managed to build it.

I installed the files manually and had to play about to get the scripts running.

As i said I have not done extensive testing but it seems to work.

I intend to test some of my web apps with it.

It would be fantastic if you could also build this for the 5000/5500 - the currently available version (ARM port ripped from Debian) is quite old (3.22.32_2)...

@jp40

It\'s always good to scan the postings now and then. I\'m currently preparing to compile MySQL 4 and PostgreSQL native on my 760, because, as already mentioned, the only available ipk is pre 3.23.

I\'m currently looking for a useable glibc, but would also be interested in helping you with your port, if you like. Just let me know.

Other projects at the horizon will be:
- GhostScript/GSView
- lout

@jurwit:

It shouldn\'t matter which ROM, as MySQL has no GUI\'s (yet). he available 3.22 ipk installs and runs under every C[78]x0 ROM. Can\'t tell for the 5x00 though.
