mySQL on Integrity

ptrskg — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:01:26 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to install MYSQL051 V46.3-0 on OpenVms I64 8.4 but need zLib binaries to be successful.

Does anybody know where to find a suitable distribution?

Thanks,

Peter

An extract of the MySQL V5.1-46 installation manual for OpenVMS :

Itanium platform

OpenVMS 8.3
patch VMS83I_ICXXL V0300 minimum on Itanium
HP SSL 1.4
Zlib V1.2.3 may be installed before MySQL but this is not mandatory as starting from MySQL 5.1.22 the MySQL kit include this library.

BTW, you can get the library from the following link :

http://www.vmspython.org/anonymous/kits/IA64/

I hope this helps,

   With a little fooling around, a normal zlib source kit can be built
on VMS. In the zlib 1.2.5 kit, a type cast may be helpful:

ALP $ gdiff gzwrite.c_orig gzwrite.c
324c324
<     len = vsprintf(state->in, format, va);
---
>     len = vsprintf( (char *)state->in, format, va);

And the DCL procedure make_vms.com has some goofy junk in it, and some
portability problems:

ALP $ gdiff make_vms.com_orig make_vms.com
19c19
< $ set proc/parse=ext
---
> $!!! set proc/parse=ext !!! 2011-02-17 SMS. Not much good on VAX.

> $ write aconf "# define NO_vsnprintf

I see that there's a 1.2.6 now, which, at first glance, appears to be
in worse shape.

   For a less hopeless VMS builder for the zlib 1.2.6 kit, and the minor
code change described above (type cast for warning reduction on old
systems):
