| Subject: | mysql_server_init and mysql_server_end link errors with mysql 3.23.xx |
In dbdimp.c, mysql_server_init and mysql_server_end are called when
DBD_MYSQL_EMBEDDED is not defined. For the client/server version of mysql these are
dummy functions, but they aren't defined in mysql.h for mysql <= 3.23.58, so it produces
linker errors.
When I run it currently (perl v5.6.1, linked against mysql-3.23-sun-solaris2.9-sparc), I get
the following warnings on make:
"dbdimp.c", line 464: warning: implicit function declaration: parse_number
"dbdimp.c", line 1456: warning: implicit function declaration: mysql_server_init
"dbdimp.c", line 1970: warning: implicit function declaration: mysql_server_end
and this error in make test:
/00base............ok 3/5install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
'blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation
error: file blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: symbol mysql_server_init: referenced symbol
not found at /usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.
If I comment out the lines in dbdimp.c for mysql_server_init on non-embedded server:
#else
mysql_server_init(-1, NULL, NULL);
I get the same thing, only with mysql_server_end. Removing the lines
#else
mysql_server_end();
leads to a successful test. Since these functions don't do anything in client/server mysql, and
they break it for mysql-3.23.xx (including the most recent), they should probably be
removed. I've attached a patch for dbdimp.c which does this.
