Hi all,
I'm trying to compile MySQL 4.1.7 on my yosemite g3.  I don't know if 
my error is related to the fact that I'm running this on the G3, but I 
figured I would start here.

I've managed to get a decent distance into the process, but I'm stumped 
on one error.

First off, System Specs:
- NetBSD 1.6.2
- Macintosh G3 blue-and-white "Yosimite" box.
- 256 MB RAM.
- 9 GB hard disk.
- Shell: Bash 2.05.2.7nb1

My errors:
First error (solved):
I finally discovered that the mysql install guide recommends gnu make, 
so I downloaded and installed that.

Second error (solved):
./configure was barfing about mit-pthreads, so I looked that up, and 
found out that the install required mit-pthreads support.  I downloaded 
and unzipped that into the top level of the mysql folder (as per 
installation instructions).

Once I had those errors fixed, I ran:
./configure --with-mit-threads
and it configured OK.  Then I ran the gnu make utility.
../make-3.80/make

At this point, I found out I didn't have perl, so I had to go 
download/install that.  Then:

../make-3.80/make clean
./configure --with-mit-threads
../make-3.80/make

And now I get a new error...

In file included from syscall.S:5:
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:212: #error "No function renaming possible"
syscall.S:32: unterminated character constant.

I tried fooling with that line, but I can get no farther.  Has anyone 
got this to work right?  I can't seem to see what I'm missing, and that 
error message doesn't help me much.

If this is not the correct list to submit this inquiry too, please 
advise me of the correct list.

Thanks in advance!!!
