BSD/OS 3.# notes.

1. Upgrade to BSD/OS 3.1. If that is not possible, install BSDIpatch M300-038.
2. Use the following configuration when installing MySQL:

   env CXX=shlicc++ CC=shlicc2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
   --localstatedir=/var/mysql --without-perl
   --with-unix-socket-path=/var/mysql/mysql.sock 
   

   The following is also known to work:

   env CC=gcc CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS=-O3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
   --with-unix-socket-path=/var/mysql/mysql.sock 
   

3. If you have problems with performance under heavy load, try using the --skip-thread-prior switch to safe_mysqld! This will run all threads with the same priority and on BSDI 3.1 this gives better performance. (At least until BSDI has fixed their thread scheduler).

You can change the directory locations if you wish, or just use their defaults by not specifying them.

Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
