Trying to compile mysqlcc-0.9.8 - please help - FC10 with g++ 4.3.2

Hi guys

I'm trying to compile mysqlcc-0.9.8 from source but compilation breaks in main.cpp:

I'm in Fedore Core 10, trying to compile with g++ 4.3.2 that came with the distro.

I've looked around and this seems to be a simple semantic issue with g++ 4.3.2. I remember compiling this same program fine with the g++ that came with Fedora Core 6.

Two questions then:

1. What type of pointer must qptr be?

I guess

Code:

static ulong qptr*;

??

2. What are the semantics that are wrong?

How can I specify structure members correctly so g++ 4.3.2 will accept the definition?

This

Code:

93: {"connect_timeout", OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, "", (gptr*) &opt_connect_timeout,

  (gptr*) &opt_connect_timeout, 0, GET_ULONG, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 3600*12, 0,

  0, 1},

is considered -wrong- by g++ 4.3.2, rejected with

Code:

src/main.cpp:93: error: ‘gptr’ was not declared in this scope

src/main.cpp:93: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token

So how can I fix the

Code:

src/main.cpp:93: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token

error? What must the definition statement look like to have a "primary-expression" beforre "')'" token?

ANY help or ideas appreciated!

Thanks,

Well I've discovered that this

Code:

static ulong gptr*;



static struct my_option my_long_options[] =

{

.

.

93: {"connect_timeout", OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, "", (gptr*) &opt_connect_timeout,

  (gptr*) &opt_connect_timeout, 0, GET_ULONG, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 3600*12, 0,

  0, 1},

.

.

.

}

should look like this

Code:

//static ulong gptr*; <<<---- remove this



static struct my_option my_long_options[] =

{

.

.

93: {"connect_timeout", OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, "", (ulong*) &opt_connect_timeout,

  (ulong*) &opt_connect_timeout, 0, GET_ULONG, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 3600*12, 0,

  0, 1},

.

.

.

}

That solves some of the compile errors under g++ 4.3.2 - on to the rest...

Fixing some more errors has revealed that this:

Code:

static struct my_option my_long_options[] =

{

.

.

93: {"connect_timeout", OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, "", (ulong*) &opt_connect_timeout,

  (gptr*) &opt_connect_timeout, 0, GET_ULONG, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 3600*12, 0,

  0, 1},

.

.

.

}

should be

Code:

static struct my_option my_long_options[] =

{

.

.

93: {"connect_timeout", OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, "", (uchar**) &opt_connect_timeout,

  (uchar**) &opt_connect_timeout, 0, GET_ULONG, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 3600*12, 0,

  0, 1},

.

.

.

}

Almost there...

No luck.

This

Code:

static struct my_option my_long_options[] =

{

.

.

93: {"connect_timeout", OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, "", (uchar**) &opt_connect_timeout,

  (uchar**) &opt_connect_timeout, 0, GET_ULONG, REQUIRED_ARG, 0, 0, 3600*12, 0,

  0, 1},

.

.

.

} //<<<<--- this is line 118.

Just keeps on giving

Code:

src/main.cpp:118: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘void*’

Weird - so the entire structure is now valid, but the compiler breaks on the } on the line closing the structure... DAMN!

Anybody have any ideas?

Got It - sorta.

Eventually, all that I could do was to comment out the entire section out of the declaration. I guess this gives me a bit of a broken mysqlcc, but it DOES work:

In main.cpp, change

Code:

i. e. comment all lines with (uchar**) references, so they don't get compiled and

at last doing THAT made the

src/main.cpp:118: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘void*’

go away, and the program finished compiling and seems to work.

Anybody got any idea why, putting the commented lines above in the declaration, make g++ 4.3.2 fail?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your post. My mysqlcc install recently broke with an update to Fedora 12. I got errors about mismatched mysql lib versions. Trying to compile from source I got the same errors as you. You comment solution worked great, I'm not good enough at C++ to try to find the proper solution.

Not sure why no one maintains this program, it's the best quick field editor out there that I've found so far.

Post 6 , @ tcordes

May be try out the Debian patches for gmysqlcc
( I don't know, if gmysqlcc does the same as mysqlcc.)
