hello
go to http://www.mysql.com and download the sources (4.1) and in the FreeBSD
section in downloads take a look at FreeBSD downloads (platform notes), click
on platform notes.
basicly, the only difference with compilation under FreeBSD is the way you
configure the makefiles and environment variables:
CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-strength-reduce" \
CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions \
-felide-constructors -fno-strength-reduce" \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler
gmake
gmake install
these are just the differences, you MUST follow ALL STEPS in the README and
INSTALL-SOURCE guides, just use the environment variables I included and the
parameters to the ./configure, otherwise the compilation WILL FAIL.
I installed it from source and works fine, but the special setup for FreeBSD
gave me a terrible headache.
