Ok, I've just run the configure script for MySQL 5.0 for the first time and it has just told me two things:
configure: WARNING: extra-tools disabled because --enable-thread-safe-client wasn't used
and
checking for OpenSSL... yes
You can't use the --all-static link option when using openssl.
The thread safe thing I don't know about because nobody's ever told me about threading, so I dunno whether I should be using threaded applications or not. I'm guessing it depends on my CPU? It's an x86 if that helps. I'd like to know what I'd doing there because I've had to try and skirt the issue numerous times in the past.
I'm in a similair situation with the dynamic/statically linked business too. I'd like to know what's the difference and when is which appropriate. I'l like to enable OpenSSL support in MySQL so I can have a tinker with it, but not if it means I'm doing something that may screw up other applications. The --all-static-link option is a default which is why I don't want to alter it without advice.
Oh and before anyone states the blindingly obvious, yes, I'm well aware you can get precompiled binaries and RPM's etc.
