Description:
It looks like we have run into a problem with documentation and 5.1.  We were compiling source with gcc.  The following options are not working:

1) --with-innobase
2) --with-plugin-innodb
3)--with-innodb  (but it looks like that has been removed, so maybe no problem there)

How to repeat:
try to compiler source on Solaris with gcc using the above options

Hi,

I could do with some more clarification here in terms of what is wrong in the documentation.

1) --with-innobase is not a valid option (and doesn't appear in the docs, or in the output of ./configure --help)
2) --with-plugin-innodb isn't a valid option either, because the name of the plugin for InnoDB is innobase (you can see this by running ./configure). 

3) Has been removed and I'll update the documentation accordingly. 

To correct (1) and (2) I need details of exactly where in the documentation (a URL will do) you have seen these options are mentioned. 

The correct format for building on 5.1/Solaris should be:

./configure --with-plugins=innobase 

or

./configure --with-plugin-innobase

No info provided. Closing.
