23.1.8 Installing MyODBC from the BitKeeper Development Source Tree
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You should read this section only if you are interested in
helping us test our new code.
To obtain our most recent development source tree, use these
instructions:
1. Download BitKeeper from
`http://www.bitmover.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi'. You will need
BitKeeper 3.0 or newer to access our repository.
2. Follow the instructions to install it.
3. After BitKeeper is installed, first go to the directory you want
to work from, and then use this command if you want to clone the
MyODBC 3.51 branch:
shell> bk clone bk://mysql.bkbits.net/myodbc3 myodbc-3.51
In the preceding example, the source tree will be set up in the
`myodbc-3.51/' or by default `myodbc3/' subdirectory of your
current directory. If you are behind the firewall and can only
initiate HTTP connections, you can also use BitKeeper via HTTP. If
you are required to use a proxy server, simply set the environment
variable `http_proxy' to point to your proxy:
shell> export http_proxy="http://your.proxy.server:8080/"
Replace the `bk://' with `http://' when doing a clone. Example:
shell> bk clone http://mysql.bkbits.net/myodbc3 myodbc-3.51
The initial download of the source tree may take a while,
depending on the speed of your connection; be patient.
4. You will need GNU `autoconf 2.52' (or newer), `automake 1.4',
`libtool 1.4', and `m4' to run the next set of commands.
shell> cd myodbc-3.51
shell> bk -r edit
shell> aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake;
shell> ./configure # Add your favorite options here
shell> make
For more information on how to build, refer to `INSTALL' file
located in the same directory. On Windows, make use of Windows
Makefiles `WIN-Makefile' and `WIN-Makefile_debug' in building the
driver, for more information, see MyODBC Windows source
installation.
5. When the build is done, run `make install' to install the MyODBC
3.51 driver on your system.
6. If you have gotten to the `make' stage and the distribution does
not compile, please report it to <myodbc@lists.mysql.com>.
7. After the initial `bk clone' operation to get the source tree, you
should run `bk pull' periodically to get the updates.
8. You can examine the change history for the tree with all the diffs
by using `bk sccstool'. If you see some funny diffs or code that
you have a question about, do not hesitate to send e-mail to
<myodbc@lists.mysql.com>.
Also, if you think you have a better idea on how to do something,
send an e-mail to the same address with a patch. `bk diffs' will
produce a patch for you after you have made changes to the source.
If you do not have the time to code your idea, just send a
description.
9. BitKeeper has a nice help utility that you can access via `bk
helptool'.
You can also browse changesets, comments and source code online by
browsing to `http://mysql.bkbits.net:8080/myodbc3'.
