@Derek, sorry don’t understand what you mean. On this page you will see only single ‘-’ and not double ‘-’.

By the way, this page talks about compiling MySQL on Tiger, please note that Tiger is no longer supported by me (lack of sufficient hardware to run everything). For instructions on Leopard and Snow Leopard (which are both still supported look at the Docs)

Hi Richard,

I’m new to terminal too, just wondering, is there a different between “-” and “–” before the config option?

Thanks,

Ok, that is true. I thought the only output you got was “make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all’” which would be a problem. If you got a lot of output this means that everything went according to plan. Please run sudo make install and enjoy!

If thats not it then Im not sure why I keep getting;

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all’

It seems to run fine after imputing “make”, but after along while of outputting data it gives me that line. Maybe I should just run “make install” and see if it goes thru.

Nope version does not matter that much, you’ll be upgrading. No problem…

Yeah I downloaded the source file (mysql-5.1.42.tar.gz). I did first download the package file (standard power-pc-mysql-5.1.40), and ran like it said in the previous step.

Does it matter that it was 5.1.40 and the source file is 5.1.42? Their wasn’t a 5.1.42 package file in the download page for power-pc 10.4, so I grabbed 5.1.40.

Thanks.

Roberto, did you get the source code tar.gz file called “Generic Linux (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive (mysql-5.1.42.tar.gz). You need this one and not a Mac OSX specific package.

Roberto, good to hear. Before you start again do a “make clean” to remove everything from previous attempts. The options can be ignored, they are not an error.

Thanks Richard for the responce. I updated xcode and it worked but I get a warning message saying that:

unrecognized options: –with-archive-storage-engine, –with-innodb, –without-bench

Also when I run make, at the end I get:

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all’

Should I run “make install” or was their a problem with in the make. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
