Hi all, I've been informed by Fernand Vanrie (who has been involved in getting Base to do a whole lot of stuff that I never thought possible for a long time) that the old mysql connector extension supplied by Oracle no longer functions with 3.5 on Windows, whereas it did still continue to work on 3.3.x and 3.4.x.
As this is currently the only OS for which there is no regular build/availability of the connector, unless I'm very much mistaken, (well, actually there is also a need for 64 bit Linux outside of the distrib providers), I was wondering whether one of the Windows build bots would be prepared to release the connector at regular intervals, say once a month, so that at least people could test the connector on Windows. I realise that we will eventually have a MariaDB connector, but as far as I know, that isn't going to happen just yet, and in the meantime, people still need a solution for 3.5. So, what if any would/could people here do to help out ? I don't have a Windows build machine (nor can I make one available), and quite frankly, being the noob I am when it comes to unravelling code and the problems it may/may not cause, I probably don't have the time, energy or stomach to attempt to sort out the build problems that might occur on a Win machine - hence my question to the buildbot maintainers/hosters. Answers on the back of a postage stamp please to me ;-) Alex _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
