Backported only the softlink part of the patch,
*not* the bumping of library version.
With this patch, the libmysql/ directory contains:
libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient_r.a -> libmysqlclient.a
libmysqlclient_r.so -> libmysqlclient.so*
libmysqlclient_r.so.18 -> libmysqlclient.so.18*
libmysqlclient_r.so.18.0.0 -> libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0*
libmysqlclient.so -> libmysqlclient.so.18*
libmysqlclient.so.18 -> libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0*
libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0*
ABI changes (Bug#60061)
Bumping the version from 16 to 18, instead of 17, was done to avoid a
library conflict on Mac OS X between MySQL 5.1 and MySQL 5.5. In MySQL
5.1 GNU libtool was used, that made the ABI version used in the file
name to be 16, and the one stored inside the binary to be 17.
MySQL 5.5 uses CMake as a build tool, that will store the same ABI
number in the file name as inside the binary in Mac OS X, and then
bumping the ABI number two steps avoids a conflict on Mac OS X.
Remove some more leftovers from the initial removal:
o Update relevant mentions of configure.in throughout
the source code.
o Remove win/configure.js, which at this point just
duplicates logic already present in CMake based build
system.
o Remove support files which relied on the autotools
build system. In any case, MySQL is no longer officially
supported on SCO.
o Remove files which are no longer part of the build.
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
Backport version info handling (Windows-specific) from next-mr.
Instead of adding ".res" object as linker flag, add resource file (.rc) file to the source list.
This is more obvious and less error prone method.
- Update/fix file layouts for each package type, add new types for
native package formats including deb, rpm and svr4.
- Build all plugins, including debug versions
- Update compiler flags to match current release
- Add missing @VAR@ expansions
- Install correct mysqclient library symlinks
- Fix icc/ia64 builds
- Fix install of libmysqld-debug
- Don't include mysql_embedded
- Remove unpackaged manual pages to avoid missing files warnings
- Don't install mtr's test suite
In the worst case possible scenario (no bzr, in-source build),
make dist produced a package that compiled ok with autotools
but failed to package because extra make_binary_distribution was
found in source package and was not built. make_binary_distribution
contained paths of the build machine.
Fix: exclude some scripts that are produced in cmake build.
Note that there is no good general fix for it in this specific scenario.
it is advisable to build source packages out of source or in bzr repo.
MYSQL_ADD_EXECUTABLE will instructs CPack where to install the exe. On Windows, it also
adds version resource and if -DSIGNCODE was given, will sign the exe in packaging step.
