Bug #8340	Query Browser does not build on amd64 without changes
Submitted:	6 Feb 2005 1:46	Modified:	2 Mar 2005 3:10

Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Query Browser	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.1.5	OS:	Linux (Gentoo/GNU Linux 2.6.10)
Assigned to:	Alfredo Kojima	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Building the query browser on the AMD64 platform reslts in numerous errors related to pointer stuff. I have a dirty little patch that will let it build, and even work, but I have received at least one random segfault on it, so my changes are probably quite dangerous and will randomly blow things up. However, I hope that somebody can see what I've done wrong and make the correct changes to the source tree to allow amd64 users to use the Query Browser.

How to repeat:
1. build (or attempt to) query-browser

Suggested fix:
Patch (dangerous). Should be attached somewhere.

Dangerous patch that lets query-browser build on amd64.

Attachment: amd64.patch (text/x-diff), 4.38 KiB.
