Description:
Excerpt from an email from Mats Wichmann with notes of a build of MySQL 4.0.14 on
an LSB system:
http://freestandards.org/pipermail/lsb-appbat/2003-October/001036.html
[SNIP]
1. against current LSB headers, configure detects
that none of HAVE_UCHAR, HAVE_ULONG or HAVE_UINT
are true. Based on this information, uint and
ushort are typedef'd in include/my_global.h
Strangely, we DO provide ushort, so there's a
multiple typedef problem. This is an oddity on
our part, but for correctness, typedefing ushort
should really be based on an independent configure
check such as is done for uchar, ulong and uint.
2. on the same topic, LSB headers define uint in
<inttypes.h> which is not checked by configure,
but which is included by certain mysql sources,
leading to another multiple typedef problem.
3. still on the same topic, ulong is *not* typedef'd in
include/my_global.h, because the controlling
condition for that typedef is:
#if !defined(HAVE_ULONG) && !defined(HAVE_LINUXTHREADS) ....
and in our case, HAVE_LINUXTHREADS is true.
