[webstack-discuss] Including MySQL 5.0 with Solaris [LSARC/2007/608 FastTrack timeout 10/26/2007]

[Ritu Kamboj]

Hi ,

As Matt and Martin pointed out there are use cases of the static 
libraries bundled in the default MySQL installation.

My proposal is that we have all the libraries that are given in the 
default MySQL installation. The complete list is as under:

libdbug.a
libmyisam.a
 libmysqlclient_r.a
libmysqlclient_r.so
libmysqlclient.a
 libmysqlclient.so
libmystrings.a
 libmysys.a

plus these two libraries as we are enabling the cluster engine (ndb):

 libndbclient.a
libndbclient.so

We can remove the other static library (ie libheap.a,libvio.a and all 
the .la files as well)

Kindly let me know if that is fine and we shall update the ARC case 
accordingly.

Regards,
Ritu
