Re: problems when building mysql in NetBSD 6

Sorry for not replying earlier, but it is not easy to find the time to
reproduce such an error on my Amiga. The machine is busy for at least 6
hours to build the client (fortunately I already got Perl).

That's the same error which you got with mysql5-client. So you have a
general problem with readline or libedit.

I have built mysql5-client over the last night without any problem! Using
pkgsrc-2012Q3 on a 6.0 installation.

Maybe you need to fix your 6.0 installation. Either there is something wrong
with it, or the mysql-client package has a bug and depends on other
packages already installed, but not actually entered in its depedencies.

For example I had also the readline-6.2 package installed. Maybe this makes 
a difference?

It should find it. When I look into my successful config.log, I see the
following lines:

---8<---
configure:25833: checking defined rl_compentry_func_t and
rl_completion_func_t
configure:25855: c++ -c  -DDBUG_OFF -Os -DUSE_OLD_FUNCTIONS -I/usr/include

---8<---

So the failure with rl_completion_func_t is normal.

But then it finds HIST_ENTRY in readline/readline.h and continues. After
that your configuration breaks with an error.

Can you check /usr/include/readline/readline.h for HIST_ENTRY? Maybe it is
missing.

Uh... out of memory. How much do you have installed? I have 128MB physical
memory and 512MB swap. I was compiling on an A3000 with CSPPC/060.

I have uploaded my mysql5-client package to:
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/phx/amiga/mysql-client-5.0.96.tgz

Its installation depends on Perl>=5.0. Hope you already got that.
