Hi,<br><br>as I said before I didn't tested the packages carefully and therefore I didn't know the different perl packages on maemo sdk and the devices. The current package does depend on perl thus it is not possible to install mysql-server or mysql-client on the device. I really would like to remove the perl dependencies or reduce them to perl-base. But I am not a perl expert. Also I would like to use cdbs because imho it is easier to handle (and to change). Maybe it is possible to set up a public repo where we can work on mysql together. It would be really great if different people can maintain mysql for maemo.<br>

So judging from what Jeremiah is saying below, the mysql binaries in these repository are functional?<br>
Some of them have dates from 2010 so they are very recent so I am assuming these are active ports.<br>
Unlike Bjoern, when I am able to install the common libraries but when I try to install the server it<br>
fails (on the N800) giving errors on files it cannot find. Any ideas? Bjoern can you share how you<br>
install the debian bins in your case?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

Sorry didn't send my answer to the list.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
the last weeks I tried to get a new version of mysql to extras-devel (<a href="http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/</a>). Therefore I updated the old version to the version from debian stable but I didn't tested the package carefully. At the moment the package has many disadvantages. The perl dependencies of that package are really bad, packages are to big for the N900 and mysql is installed in root dir. Now I am trying to get a new mysql version (latest of the 5.0 series) for maemo with a new package description build from scratch. Hopefully I can finish that work in the next weeks and upload a new package. Any help is appreciated ;-)<br>

What is the list of the perl dependencies? Maybe I can help you out there.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
most likely I will use what Tony has ported for the N800.<br>
However, poking around<br>
the maemo repos I saw a few links to mysql server and client<br>
packages (.deb ). Does<br>
anyone know what these are and who the authors are? I tried<br>
installing them on a<br>
5.2008 N800 but they do not install correctly:<br>

Thanks<br>

Hi Tony,<br>
<br>
thanks for the response - I have a feeling you may be right<br>
on this one so I will give it a shot<br>
and let you know how it works out. Either way thanks a bunch<br>
for the good help.<br>
<br>
Take care<br>

Hi Tony,<br>
<br>
excellent and thanks for the good info. I am not<br>
sure what Java libraries I may need to port<br>
but I will give it a shot to see how it behaves. All<br>
I need is pretty much an elementary table<br>
to be accessed through a servlet I already wrote<br>
running under Java CDC on the N800. Is<br>
there a J connector available for this port I can<br>
use? You said you have been using this only<br>
for Perl-based apps so I am not sure if you ever<br>
tried any Java apps with it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi Demetris,<br>
<br>
I haven't tried any Java applications myself; it's a<br>
language I tried to learn many years ago and gave up<br>
because I found its OO nature too painful to use.<br>
<br>
My guess would be that it would just be a matter of<br>
picking up the necessary libraries from wherever they can<br>
be found (the MySQL website?) and putting them in the<br>
right place. If my understanding of Java is correct, then<br>
the bit-code is architecture-independent. Though my<br>
understanding may well be flawed...<br>
