MySQL client libs and binaries from HP's C++ build required

[Ralph Grothe]

Hello,

I urgendly require precompiled libraries and binaries of the MySQL client for HP-UX 11.00 that were build by the HP C++ compiler.

The only binaries available for download I have found so far seem all to have been built by the GNU gcc compiler.

This doesn't help much because my primary concern is the use of the Perl DBI/DBD::mysql interface.
In order to install the DBD driver module in the make process linking against the MySQL libraries is required.
This of course will fail because I once had my Perl built by the HP-UX ANSI C compiler (please see dump of "perl -V" below).

Unfortunately the MySQL sources are one of those (still) few open sources that at least contain parts written in C++.
Therefore any attempt to build MySQL libraries from the source by HP-UX ANSI (plain) C naturally fail at last.

If anyone of you who happens to have a HP-UX C++ compiler on 11.00 running who could build the libs for me this would be a great help for me.

My Perl was built with these flags by HP-UX ANSI C:

Try pre-compiled depots perhaps:

Hello SEP,

thanks for advising to the HP Internet Express software.
I'm really delighted to see that since my last visit to this download link HP have added a depot for 11i PARISC of the free extensible agent Net-SNMP.
Before they only had a depot for 11.23 IA to offer.
This alone deserves you the rabbit.
I'm also glad to find a Jabber port to 11i now in the collection.

However, the ixMySQL depot for 11i which I downloaded and installed on one of our 11i test servers still was built by GNU gcc, at least this is what README.hp says:

MySQL build information
========================

This file describes the steps used to
build this product from the source code.

1. Dependent libraries.

The following libraries were used to
build this product:

zlib 1.1.4 (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/)
OpenSSL 0.9.7c (Internet Express)

2. Compiler

The gcc compiler and GNU make were used to compile
this product. You can download these from

gcc compiler 3.x (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/)
GNU make 3.80 (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/)

3. Unpack the source


The catch with the gcc build of the libs for me is that I need to write (Perl) scripts that hold synchronously database handles to both DB engines (i.e. Oracle and MySQL) open.
It was quite a pain in "me transom" (and it needed a lot of help from Merijn's README.hpux in the DBD::Oracle tarball) to get DBD::Oracle working on HP-UX PARISC, only by a custom build of Perl with HP-UX ANSI C.
I would rather prefer one Perl script/module executed by only one Perl interpiler instead of a skewed split invocation of two disparate processes.
