Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector

Hi :)
Thanks :)  So Building neatly avoids the packagiong issues of .rpm versus .deb?  We just need 1 for 
32bit Gnu&Linux and 1 for 64bit, not 1 for each of the main families (Arch? Slackware, Debian, 
RedHat, errr)?  So, Heinrich's build might be good to upload to your page?

Doing a build sounds quite technical to me.  I need to look at the guide as i have never done it 
before (well twice doing copy&paste from guides and not having a clue what i was doing).  Anyway, 
thanks for the link to the guide :)  Heinrich, has it helped?
Regards from
Tom :)

This is precisely what I have done for Mac OSX.

I really don't know, but I'm hasarding a guess that they are fairly
generic - however, each distrib currently packages its own version of
the connector extension to accompany any given release of their own
version of LibO. What is certain is that if you want a 32bit connector,
you have to build with the 32bit mysql connector C library, and if you
want 64bit, well...the corresponding bit library for that.

If you look at the OOo extension site, the MySQL native connector
extension was provided in the following flavours :

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/mysql_connector

Linux (32bit)
Linux x86_64
Mac OS X (32bit only)
Solaris Sparc
Solaris x86
Windows (I assume only 32bit, but who knows ?)

So, one would need to build for these arch/OSes and also Win64.
