Bug #18464	Can't make example storage engine available
Submitted:	23 Mar 2006 17:28	Modified:	31 Mar 2006 7:54
Reporter:	Paul Whittington	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.1.7-beta	OS:	Linux (Linux)
Assigned to:	Antony Curtis	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Specification of --with-example-storage-engine for configure does not make the example storage engine available.

How to repeat:
Download 5.1.7-beta and configure it with 

./configure --prefix=/home/tester/mysql --without-innodb --with-example-storage-engine

then do 

make
make install

and

cd /home/tester/mysql
bin/mysql_install_db
share/mysql/mysql.server start

followed by

bin/mysql

and

use test;
show variables like 'have_%'

I got

+----------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name              | Value |
+----------------------------+-------+
| have_archive               | NO    |

| have_symlink               | YES   |
+----------------------------+-------+
17 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Notice that have_example_engine is NO.

I expected have_example_engine to be YES.

Does this problem was there in mysql-5.0.27 as well? As I am also getting similar behavior.
