[Nagiosplug-devel] nagios-plugins with-mysql on FC3

[Dennis Kuhlmeier]

Hi,

sorry for answering my own mail... just found out what causes the
problem (see below), still don't know how to fix it.

And sorry for quoting the complete mail, just wanted to make sure,
everybody knows what we are talking about ;)

The difference is the mysql version and the parameters
/usr/bin/mysql_conf accepts, as MySQL version 4 understands several
more parameters:

# /usr/bin/mysql_config
Usage: /usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
        --cflags         [-I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m32
-march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing]
        --include        [-I/usr/include/mysql]
        --libs           [-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt
-lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
        --libs_r         [-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz
-lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
        --socket         [/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock]
        --port           [3306]
        --version        [4.1.20]
        --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lpthread
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]

So I guess the configure script sends more options than the MySQL3
version of mysql_conf can handle. Any fix or workaround for that?

Thanks in advance!
