Re: Question regarding Barnyard2

[Dheeraj Gupta <dheeraj.gupta4 () gmail com>]

Hi,

Possibly a dumb suggestion but did you try a plain --with-mysql (no
capitalization) with ./configure
If you request MySQL support and configure cannot find required libraries,
it will fail with an error. However, if you supply --with-MySQL, configure
will possibly only show a warning (at the beginning) and then happily
continue with rest of configuration process.

I haven't compiled barnyard from source in a long time, but I think if you
look at configure output, you should see something like
"Checking for MySQL support"...yes
in the output
Also when you do a make, a MYSQL(or something similar) flag should be added
to each compile command printined during make process. (Something like
-DMYSQL)
If both these are not present, it points to the fact that configure was run
without request for MySQL support.

Regards,
Dheeraj
