Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php Thank you for the report. But zlibCompileFlags is heeded for MySQL server. (For example, ARCHIVE storage engine). Try to upgrade your Solaris zlib instead.
Description: The way that configure tests for zlib availability is non-portable. It tests for the existence of zlibCompileFlags() which at least doesn't exist in my Solaris zlib. I'm linking with openssl and I need to link MySQL with the same libz otherwise the server crashes when doing SSL operations, so I configure with --with-zlib-dir=/usr - configure fails as zlib is 'not available' How to repeat: Configure on Solaris 10 with --with-zlib-dir=/usr Suggested fix: --- config/ac-macros/zlib.m4~ 2007-02-14 16:03:45.375306193 +0000 +++ config/ac-macros/zlib.m4 2007-02-14 16:04:24.516591073 +0000 @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ LIBS="$LIBS $ZLIB_LIBS" AC_CACHE_VAL([mysql_cv_compress], [AC_TRY_LINK([#include <zlib.h>], - [return zlibCompileFlags();], + [return zlibVersion();], [mysql_cv_compress="yes" AC_MSG_RESULT([ok])], [mysql_cv_compress="no"])
