2.12.4.5. BSD/OS Version 3.x Notes
Upgrade to BSD/OS 3.1. If that is not possible, install
BSDIpatch M300-038.
Use the following command when configuring MySQL:
env CXX=shlicc++ CC=shlicc2 \
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--localstatedir=/var/mysql \
--without-perl \
--with-unix-socket-path=/var/mysql/mysql.sock
The following is also known to work:
env CC=gcc CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 \
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-unix-socket-path=/var/mysql/mysql.sock
You can change the directory locations if you wish, or just
use the defaults by not specifying any locations.
If you have problems with performance under heavy load, try
using the --skip-thread-priority option to
mysqld. This runs all threads with the same
priority. On BSDI 3.1, this gives better performance, at least
until BSDI fixes its thread scheduler.
If you get the error virtual memory
exhausted while compiling, you should try using
ulimit -v 80000 and running
make again. If this doesn't work and you
are using bash, try switching to
csh or sh; some BSDI
users have reported problems with bash and
ulimit.
