No, native mysql is the only stable server. We all use the native mysql server builts (besides gerrit maybe), only postgresql is used under cygwin. http://anfaenger.de/cygwin-1.5/mysql/ has the binaries. The clients should be able to compile for cygwin with no problems (Gerrit does this usually, aee url above, esp. for mysql_config), but they are not in setup. > Should I be able to keep both AS-Perl as /local/bin/perl and > Cygwin-Perl /bin/perl or would you advise otherwise? I don't put AS-Perl in /usr/local/bin, I have it in C:/Perl/bin and use it only occasionally. Such as for special Win32 CGI's or PPM stuff. This is then done with special handlers, or the she-bang line at the top of the script. You can easily put "C:/Perl/bin" to the front of your PATH in scripts where you need AS-Perl. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
