Thanks for the information. For the benefit of all, could you list all of your configure options that are relevant to building MySQL on Cygwin?
FWIW, mine is: $ mysql --version mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.18, for pc-cygwin (i686) using EditLine wrapper conf'd with just --prefix=/opt/mysql --without-server then make && make install (and using TCP to connect w/ a local windows server). On my various (lots) installs, I never had a hitch. I successfully built php 5.1.2 against it (and others which I don't remember). I remember doing the same with mysql4 and php4, but can't recall the exact versions. I was in the process of building some emerge-like script (and learning python at the same time), which helps me rebuild stuff from source tgz and change 'use' flags easily, and ideally script and automate a whole cygwin install+compile, but RealWork(tm) prevented me to come to something close to distributable. I'll certainly continue someday, but I wonder if anyone willbe interested by such a script in the future (when it'll be usable by someone else than just me)? Lloeki
