I've removed R-sig-db. PLEASE don't cross-post, not least because the R-sig-db moderator (me) ends up having to approve all the non-subscribed replies such as Duncan's.

Hello:


          What do I need to do to compile R packages (especially RMySQL) for
the 64-bit version of R 2.12.0 under Vista_x64?

The symptoms you're seeing are because the linker can't functions in

libmySQL.dll

which it is looking for in the somewhat strange path

C:/PROGRA~2/MySQL/MYSQLS~1.1//bin/libmySQL.dll


Does that file exist? Is it a 64 bit dll, compatible with MinGW? Is it compiled under the same convention as R, where no underscores are used in external names? (The latter two questions can probably be answered by looking at "objdump -x libmySQL.dll". objdump.exe is distributed as part of the MinGW distribution in Rtools.)

For x64, you need (or at least, it is more correct to use) x86_64-w64-mingw32-objdump. But I think he has pretty much told us that it is a 32-bit DLL. To install RMySQL on x64 Windows you need the 64-bit client DLLs. The standard MySQL installers do not allow you to install 32-bit and 64-bit MySQL on the same machine, but once you manage that, 32bit RMySQL can talk to a 64-bit MySQL server, and v.v.

BTW, the underscore convention does not matter for DLLs, only object files (.o, .a).

This does all work (I passed patches back to the maintainer so that it does). I do have a bi-arch Windows install of RMySQL on my machine talking to a 64-bit MySQL server. But we've had far too much frustration with (even very minor) MySQL version mismatches to even think about distributing such a build.

        I upgraded to "Rtools212.exe" yesterday but immediately got errors
from "R CMD check RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz".  After the first error, I
installed it a second time, then got "undefined reference to" roughly 50
different names beginning "mysql_";  copied below.  I see two possible
sources for this problem:


                    (1) RTools212 may not be installed properly.


(2) RMySQL may be incompatible with R x64 2.12.0, especially with
a 32-bit version of MySQL.


NOTE: RMySQL worked with R2.11.1 (and MySQL 5.1.50-community server)

But you failed to tell us the 'at a minimum' information we asked for about either version of R. If that was i386 R, then yes, your MySQL is 32-bit.

before I installed R2.12.0.  I'm reasonably sure that my local
installation of MySQL is only 32-bit.


          What do you suggest?  I use the 32-bit version of R2.12.0?


          Thanks,
          Spencer
