After configuring, edit
config.h
and
include/my_config.h
and change the line that says this:
#define HAVE_SNPRINTF 1
to this:
#undef HAVE_SNPRINTF
And finally, in
mysqld.cc
, you need to add a prototype for
initgroups()
.
#ifdef _AIX41
extern "C" int initgroups(const char *,int);
#endif
For 32-bit binaries, if you need to allocate a lot of memory to the
mysqld
process, it is not enough
to just use
ulimit -d unlimited
. You may also have to modify
mysqld_safe
to add a line
something like this:
export LDR_CNTRL='MAXDATA=0x80000000'
You can find more information about using a lot of memory at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/
en_US/aixprggd/genprogc/lrg_prg_support.htm .
Users of AIX 4.3 should use
gmake
instead of the
make
utility included with AIX.
As of AIX 4.1, the C compiler has been unbundled from AIX as a separate product.
gcc
3.3.2 can be
obtained here: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gcc/
The steps for compiling MySQL on AIX with
gcc
3.3.2 are similar to those for using
gcc
2.95 (in
particular, the need to edit
config.h
and
my_config.h
after running
configure
). However, before
running
configure
, you should also patch the
curses.h
file as follows:
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/3.3.2/include/curses.h.ORIG

2.20.5.4. SunOS 4 Notes
On SunOS 4, MIT-pthreads is needed to compile MySQL. This in turn means you need GNU
make
.
Some SunOS 4 systems have problems with dynamic libraries and
libtool
. You can use the
following
configure
line to avoid this problem:
./configure --disable-shared --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
When compiling
readline
, you may get warnings about duplicate defines. These can be ignored.
