I also downloaded the 6.4.2 source and will try to compile it. Too bad there isn't a diff file at your location, but if I fail, I will install the binary, for sure. >MySQL is _not_ ported to Cygwin due to the lack of the pthreads functions used >in the multi-user multi-threaded MySQL database engine.

Thanks for the information, but there is something very obscure to me, they ARE binaries for cygwin32 : http://www.tcx.se/download.html "MySQL 3.22.10 clients compiled with the cygwin32 kit. This includes 'mysql' with readline editing capabilities. " and a link to http://www.tcx.se/Downloads/Win32/mysqlclient-3.22.10b-cygwin-b20.tar.gz I downloaded it, here is the content : -rw-r--r-- tolj/None 723652 1998-11-08 17:59 cygwin1.dll -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 41472 1998-11-17 19:40 insert_test.exe -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 192512 1998-11-17 19:40 mysql.exe -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 55296 1998-11-17 19:40 mysqladmin.exe -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 62464 1998-11-17 19:40 mysqldump.exe -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 53760 1998-11-17 19:40 mysqlimport.exe -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 53760 1998-11-17 19:40 mysqlshow.exe -rwxr-xr-x tolj/None 41472 1998-11-17 19:40 select_test.exe Which seems to mean that the mySQL DLL was succesfully built (how ??), and linked or added to the original cygwin1.dll ? If it's true, it may remove my coolview support, am I wrong ? Furthermore, you have to get a license to use it officialy. >There is a native Win32 shareware version of MySQL 3.21.29a which works >perfectly with our Apache 1.3.4 and integrated PHP 3.0.6, check out MySQL's >official web site. I do not know if I'll be able to use it with Perl built for cygwin ? If I compile a DBI module for MySQL within my cygwin perl context, the DLL formats won't match I guess.
