Hi, Its weird that the USE flags are somewhat ignored. I don't see utf8 set, readline is unexpectedly disabled ... maybe some more ... I don't know of? :( >>> Source unpacked. * econf: updating mysql/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess * econf: updating mysql/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu -C --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/mysql --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql --with-low-memory --enable-assembler --with-charset=latin1 --enable-local-infile --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-client-ldflags=-lstdc++ --enable-thread-safe-client --with-comment=Gentoo Linux mysql-4.0.25-r2 --with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --without-readline --enable-shared --enable-static --with-libwrap --with-vio --with-openssl --without-debug --without-big-tables --with-bench --with-server --with-embedded-server --with-extra-tools --with-innodb --with-raid --with-extra-charsets=all --without-berkeley-db --without-docs configure: creating cache config.cache checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu In the ebuild I see: local minimal_exclude_list="server embedded-server extra-tools innodb raid" if ! useq minimal; then for i in ${minimal_exclude_list}; do myconf="${myconf} --with-${i}" done if useq utf8; then myconf="${myconf} --with-charset=utf8 --with-collation=utf8_general_ci" else myconf="${myconf} --with-charset=latin1 --with-collation=latin1_swedish_ci" fi # lots of chars myconf="${myconf} --with-extra-charsets=all" I'm puzzled why the utf8 is not set as default charset and why readline is disabled for me. :( # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.13-rc6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-rc6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre5 ccache version 2.4 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.19-r1, 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/k de/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/spool/PBS /var/bind /var/qm ail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.muni.cz/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.mirror.icd.hu/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub /Mirrors/gentoo/ http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/" LINGUAS="cs cz en" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X Xaw3d aalib acpi adns alsa apache2 apm arts ati avcodec avi bidi bitmap-fonts bonobo caca cdparanoia cdr crypt cscope cups curl dba dga directfb distcc divx divx4 divx4linux divx5 divx5linux dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds em acs emacs-w3 emboss encode esd ethereal evo f77 faac faad faad2 fam fame fbcon ffmpeg flac flash foomaticdb fortran fvwm fvwm2 gb gd gdbm ggi gif gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile i8x0 icc imagemagick imlib imlib2 innodb java jpeg junit lcms leim libg++ libwww live lpthread lzo lzw-tiff mad mcal mesa mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mozilla mp3 m peg mule mysql ncurses network nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl plotutils png ppds pthread pthr eads python qt qtx quicktime readline rtc samba scanner sdl slp speex spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tex t heora thread threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vorbis win32 winvidix wmf xi ne xml xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid xvmc yv12 zeo zlib video_cards_radeon linguas_cs linguas_cz linguas_en userland_GNU ke rnel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS #
mysql-4.0.25 does not have any utf8 USE flag, you need 4.1.13 for that; also --without-readline refers to disabling *bundled* readline support, see the ebuild.
Sorry, I had a look into 4.1.13 ebuild file but was compiling 4.0.25-r2. :( Why is still 4.1.13 masked then? # emerge =dev-db/mysql-4.1.13-r1 Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-db/mysql-4.1.13-r1" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-db/mysql-4.1.13-r1 (masked by: package.mask) # <robbat2@gentoo.org> (17 Nov 2004) # Masking for testing It is stable already. At least on ~x86 it should be unmasked. ;)
