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.

@Roberto, Shane’s problem was related to an older version of XCode. You might try downloading the latest version for Tiger from developer.apple.com

Don’t know if this is still opened but like Shane I have trouble compiling mysql. I keep getting a message about missing static libraries (libm.a) when I try the configure setting on this page. Ive searched my computer and I do not have them.

How do I go about getting them or bypassing this. I’ve tried reinstalling Xcode and still nothing. Thanks in advance.
