Bug 75689 – MyODBC does not build against MySQL 4.1.x

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rumi Szabolcs 2004-12-26 04:23:36 UTC]

MyODBC does not build against MySQL-4.1.x. This is not a gentoo specific
problem, it also occurs with the original source tarballs, see below.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge >=mysql-4.1.7
2. emerge myodbc
3.

Actual Results:  
[...]
catalog.c: In function `SQLStatistics':
catalog.c:960: error: too few arguments to function `int2str'
catalog.c: At top level:
[...]
make[2]: *** [catalog.lo] Error 1
[...]

This error also occurs when I hack the current 3.51.06 ebuild to compile
3.51.09 which is the most recent tarball version available from MySQL AB.



This seems to be a known problem with current official releases of MyODBC:

I think when the 4.1.x compatible version of MyODBC gets released by MySQL AB,
it should be put into portage ASAP. We for example, are heavily depending on
ODBC for accessing our databases but also need some new features which appeared
in mysql-4.1.x, so for us there is no way around this problem.

please re-open when the new MyODBC is released that works with mysql-4.1.

The newly released (yesterday evening) MyODBC-3.51.10 seems to compile
against MySQL 4.1.x. I could not test it properly for function, please
somebody confirm! The ebuild for 3.51.06 works with this version
seamlessly.

myodbc-3.51.11 compiled seamlessly with MySQL-4.1.7...
