Sorry Mark, scrap that. Found your link. Should look more carefully lol!

Hi marl, you mention you have compiled a 32 bit version, where is the downloads page?

Thanks
Craig

Manoj, I’ve compiled 32bit versions for you. See the downloads page.

Renz, your tip is good, installing a GNU system with 64bit libraries only spares the admin a lot headaches due to incompatibilities. I've found compiling packages with --with-pic solves some issues, too. BTW, my MySQL build instructions do look like these (I prefer Gentoo, but these are for OpenSuSE):

# replace these with settings suitable for your architecture:
export CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
export CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O3 -pipe -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions"
export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -felide-constructors -fno-rtti"
export SRCS="/usr/src/packages/SOURCES"

cd /tmp
tar -xzf ${SRCS}/sphinx-*.tar.gz
tar -xzf ${SRCS}/sourcecode/mysql-5.4*.tar.gz
cd /tmp/mysql*
cp -ra ../sphinx-*/mysqlse storage/sphinx

patch -p1 < ${SRCS}/kubacki_-_mysql-5.4.1-beta_fnv_64.patch
patch -p1 < ${SRCS}/kubacki_-_mysql_sphinx_additional_settings.patch

BUILD/autorun.sh \
&& ./configure \
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --cache-file=./config.cache \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock \
--enable-assembler --enable-local-infile --enable-thread-safe-client --with-atomic-ops=up --with-pthread \

Hi,

Could you please let me know if you have precompiled binary (MySQL 5.1 + SphinxSE) for 32 bit systems? I am having hard time compiling the sources.

Thanks in advance
Manoj

if you will compile mysql with 64 bit, try to install the 64bit dependency only. example openssl.x86_64 openssl-devel.x86_64

another will be some programs dont detect lib64 or it goes to lib instead so you should add a parameter –with-libdir=/lib64

Another source for customized MySQL builds I’ve found is http://ourdelta.org/. Unfortunately it seems to be down at the moment.
