Re: On Solaris 10, with what config options I can build a 64-bit mysql?

[Kent Boortz]

Yes, download a binary package, and look inside the "mysqlbug" script.
You don't specify if Sparc or x86_64, but the trick for x86_64 (amd64)
is to add to configure the option "--build=x86_64-pc-solaris2.10" to
let the whole build tool chain know it is a 64 bit build.

To give further help, would need to see the failing spot in the build.
Use no parallel make if GNU make ("-jN"), makes it harder to spot the
actual build failure.

Note that you are not supposed to use the build scripts in the BUILD
directory of the source TAR, it is only for "developer builds", building
from the Bazaar repository,
