Description:
On my Gentoo system I can not compile MySQL GUI Tools due to a compile error while compiling mysql-gui-common. I tried to simply do "./autogen.sh ; make" inside the directory. autogen.sh runs (nearly) fine, but make results in an error. To be sure I got the current SVN version 1842. The error says to use -fexception but where can I add this option? Why is are exceptions disabled?

Do you need infos about installed libraries? If so, please let me know which ones.

How to repeat:
1. cd to source dir
2. ./autogen.sh
3. make

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with a newer version, from GUI Tools 5.0r6, and inform about the results.

Unfortunately both SVN version 1861 and release R6 fail to compile here with the given install instructions.
However, the ebuild in the gentoo portage tree somehow manages to pass a -fexceptions parameter to the compile process and is at least capable to install mysql-administrator and mysql-query-browser.
Thus, it may be that only the install instructions are wrong.

Please, try to repeat with a newer version, from GUI Tools 5.0r8, and inform about the results.

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

Possibly due to changes on my system the error has gone. Even with release 6.
So, currently, I can't reproduce the error and am closing this bug.
