Title: Problem compiling MySQL
Post by: PingPing on June 30, 2009, 03:46:38 AM

I'm trying to compile MySQL 5.1.35 Community Edition.
Configuring gives an error about not being able to find 'getconf'.
I couldn't see 'getconf' in the repos.
Is it part of a particular package in the repos?

try load glibc-apps.tce
there is /usr/bin/getconf inside it.

Thanks.  That worked.

New problem:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s

Any ideas how I correct this?

I'm not at a tc machine at the moment, but this might be something to do with the latest version of gcc being compiled to /usr/local, except for libgcc_s, which is in /usr.

Are you using the gcc-binutils extension or the gcc + binutils extensions?

gcc-binutils.tce

Is this with the flags from the other thread? It appears gcc_s cannot be compiled statically, only a dynamic version exists.

Yes.  It will compile with the flags:

--prefix=/usr/local
--enable-assembler

but if I try the flag

--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static

I get the error.  I get other errors if I try

--without-docs
--without-man
--without-bench

but I want to get it to compile first before I start passing these parameters.  Given what you said about no static gcc_s library, it would appear I will have to keep excluding the --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static parameter.

If I compile with:
 
--prefix=/usr/local
--enable-assembler
--with-gnu-ld

I get the error:

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type:  
config.sub: missing argument

configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub   failed

chown: /tmp/mysql/usr/local: No such file or directory

If I compile with:

--prefix=/usr/local
--enable-assembler
--without-docs

I get the error:

onfigure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type:

chown: /tmp/mysql/usr/local: No such file or directory

And so on.  It seems I am destined to build a large (aka. fully-documented) MySQL package. :(

The BLFS instructions might help:

Thanks.  I will take a look at them.  I was following the official MySQL documentation (chapter 10: MySQL Installation Using a Source Distribution) which, unfortunately, is not as newbie-friendly as I would have liked.  C'est la vie.
