Sleepy Cat Berkeley DB no longer in binary distribution

Sleepy Cat Berkeley DB no longer in binary distribution

[Phil Smith]

The db-2.7.7-4 Berkeley DB was provided in Cygwin 1.3.11-3 but removed from 
1.3.12.

This is unfortunate, considering that search.h, hsearch() and related APIs 
are unavailable via the db-2.7.7.4 package or the developer package...

Any suggestions, short of getting it from the cygwin-1.3.12-2-src package ?

Thanks

Yes, don't email folk direct unless they are part of an existing
conversation!

I've had zip, nada, nothing, zilch, zero to do with DB packages and the
overlapping newlib headers. So why am I the person you've emailed about
this?

There will be releases of DB3 & DB4 soon.  Would that help?

The Cygwin DLL has never exported db functions.

However, you seem to almost understand this since you are mentioning the
version of a db package that *is* available via setup.exe:

http://www.cygwin.com/packages/db2/

Run setup.exe and install it.

It's under the "Database" category.

That was a packaging error, which conflicted with the existing (and
working) berkeley db distribution.

The berkeley db does not provide search.h.  That is an optional extention
of the libc which is distributed with the system:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/search.h.html

Perhaps if you install "db2", "libdb2", & "libdb2-devel", you might have
better luck?  Then, as the API docs included in those packages explain, if
you want to access hsearch(), you should include <db.h>.

Yes, before asking a question like this, take the time to research it!  A
search on google for hsearch() returned the following as the fifth result:

http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/hsearch.html

A "clued-in" person would see that what he/she needed was db.h.  Which
packages contains db.h?  Well that person would then search the packages
at:

http://cygwin.com/packages/

He/She would then, knowing that it is a header of the berkeley db, see
that the package he/she would need is:

libdb2-devel The Sleepycat Berkeley DB Library v2 - devel 

See, that wasn't so difficult, was it?

You're welcome!

Cheers,
Nicholas

No, Gerrit, it would not.  The function he seeks is already there, he's
just looking in the wrong place.

Cheers,
Nicholas

Would be a great help if the list manager could be convinced to set a
reply-to field to the list.

Go back and read the thread again.  The person started out by Cc'ing
Robert directly.  There is no way that setting a Reply-To would help
in that scenario.
