Is it possible now to run ConQuest under Linux using MySQL?

Hi, guys!
As I've already asked in the topic title, is it possible now to run ConQuest under Linux using MySQL?
I've been searching for this info, but couldn't find anything helpful yet.

How are the progresses?

Thank you!

[ ]s!

I'm running Debian (stable) at my server and after running maklinux_mysql (using 1.4.15alpha files) I see (using 'ls') that the dgate file is missing. It seems that something went wrong (too much warning messages, I couldn't scroll back to the beginning to find an error message) ...

I have installed mysql-server (v5), apache (v2), g++ (v4.3), libpq-dev...

Is anyone using ConQuest with MySQL with Linux?

The content of maklinux_mysql is:

g++ -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -I/usr/include/mysql -DUNIX -DNATIVE_ENDIAN=1 -DNOINTJPEG -DPOSTGRES total.cxx -o dgate -lpthread -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
pkill -9 dgate
sleep 0.2s
cp dicom.ini.mysql dicom.ini
cp dicom.sql.mysql dicom.sql

sudo cp dgate /usr/lib/cgi-bin
sudo cp dicom.sql /usr/lib/cgi-bin
sudo cp dicom.ini.www /usr/lib/cgi-bin/dicom.ini
sudo cp sample.cq /usr/lib/cgi-bin

sudo cp ActiveFormProj1.ocx /var/www

Why there are some PostgreSQL references even if I will use MySQL? Is this correct? That's why I've installed libpq-dev.

Thanks again!

Hi,

It defitively is. There is a working? make script in 1.4.15alpha.

Sorry! My mistake!
You're right, after your reply I saw that I was trying to run the maklinux_mysql from 1.4.14. I was at the wrong folder (1.4.14).

Now I've just compiled 1.4.15alpha (using maklinux_mysql) and it's working!
Everything I needed to do after compiling was to manually create the conquest database at MySQL.

Is there any disadvantage of using ConQuest/MySQL under linux? Our Linux servers are using ConQuest/dBaseIII, but sometimes it crashes and when it restarts the db re-indexing takes a long time to finish. I guess I'll not have this issue using MySQL.
Until 1.4.14, the file windowsmanual.pdf tells: "On Linux, one should use the built-in dbaseIII driver
as long as the MySQL connection has not been developed."
Was this the only reason to avoid using MySQL?

Thanks again, Marcel!

Regards.
