Description Curtis J Blank 2011-09-08 15:15:20 UTC

3.0.4-gentoo MySQL 5.5.14 is missing handle_options and get_tty_password functions.

Pulled the MySQL 5.5.15 source code and these functions are still in the source.

openSuSE 11.4, RedHat EL 6.1, Ubuntu 11.04 have them, gentoo does not. Can't compile and link an application that uses them

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to make the application
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Application fails to link.

Expected Results:  
Expect the application to build and link propely.

Link properly.

What package are you talking about?

I believe Curtis is referring to undocumented exports in libmysqlclient.

An nm -D on the latest versions (both mysql and mariadb) show those two symbols are now exported.

This bug should be closed as fixed by upstream in newer versions.

I confirmed both symbols are now exported for mariadb-5.5.30 and mysql-5.5.30.
