MySQL Bugs: #32287: Compiling mysql-6.0 on x86 assumes Falcon support

Bug #32287	Compiling mysql-6.0 on x86 assumes Falcon support
Submitted:	12 Nov 2007 16:18	Modified:	9 Oct 2008 11:20
Reporter:	MC Brown	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Falcon storage engine	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	6.0.3+	OS:	Solaris
Assigned to:	Hakan Küçükyılmaz	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
If you try to compile MySQL on an x86 platform then Falcon support is automatically enabled, even if the platform doesn't support it. 

How to repeat:
Try building mysql-6.0.x on Solaris/x86. By default, the configure step includes Falcon because it's x86,  which ultimately fails to build properly. 

configure will enable -fexceptions and -lstdc++, which are unsupported with Studio11

If you specifically switch off Falcon with --without-falcon, the problem goes away. 

Suggested fix:
Switch identification of Falcon builds to known good platforms.

Thank you for the bug report.

MC,

Timothy send my a possible fix for this issue. I pushed his fix into mysql-6.0-falcon tree. Can you please try to build from bk tree?

Best regards,

Hakan

This is fixed in 6.0.6.

Documented in the 6.0.6 changelog as follows:

        On all x86 platforms, the default was to attempt to build the server
        with the Falcon storage engine, even if Falcon was not supported for a
        given platform.
