MySQL Bugs: #41189: No debug symbols in 5.1.30 build for Mac OSX (mysql-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86.dmg)

Bug #41189	No debug symbols in 5.1.30 build for Mac OSX (mysql-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86.dmg)
Submitted:	2 Dec 2008 22:59	Modified:	30 Nov 2016 14:50
Reporter:	Andrew Hanna	Email Updates:
Status:	Unsupported	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Packaging	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.1.30	OS:	MacOS (10.5.5)
Assigned to:	Kent Boortz	CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	debugging symbols, regression

Description:
After upgrading the MySQL 5.1.30 I get tons of errors when trying to debug an Apache/PHP request through gdb.  The errors occur when gdb is trying to load the symbols for MySQL.

How to repeat:
cd /path/to/apache/bin
gdb httpd
run -X

Output attached as separate file.

Suggested fix:
My assumption is that the debugging symbols are not included in the distribution I downloaded.  This also did not work in 5.0.67 which I was using before.  It did work in 5.0.51-b which was the version I was using previous to 5.0.67.

My apologies if the error messages are not what they seem, but this was my best guess as to what the problem is.

Symbol errors.

Thank you for the report.

How did you compile PHP?

'./configure' '--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config' '--prefix=/usr/local/php-5.3' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--disable-simplexml' '--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-tidy' '--with-openssl' '--with-curl=/usr/local/' '--with-pcre-regex' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--enable-debug'

I can repeat the problem using the following command.

shell> gdb --args /usr/local/mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86_64/bin/mysqld [someoptions]

I also confirmed that the problem happens on MySQL Enterprise 5.0.74 and 5.0.66sp1. MySQL Community 5.0.51b didn't cause such a problem like below:

shell> gdb --args /usr/local/mysql-5.0.51b-osx10.5-x86_64/bin/mysqld [someoptions]

Also ran into this problem working with mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86

MySQl 5.1 is EOL. Build and packaging of newer MySQL versions on recent OS X versions has also been completely revised. Hence closing this bug.
