mySQL jdbc Connector/J compiled natively (at last!)

[Erik Poupaert]

You've probably noticed that the gcj mailing list archives are used by large
numbers of developers as a searchable (e.g. through Google) repository of
information and fixes. You may send queries to me directly, but I feel that
you should put the mailing list at least in Cc.

I have not had time to arrange a web site already. I'd like to share these
things, though. I have patched and compiled mySQL jdbc Connector for both
windows and linux; it is available as lib-com.mysql.jdbc.a; which can be
linked directly into your application. Alternatively, you could turn
lib-com.mysql.jdbc.a into a shared object (lib-com.mysql.jdbc.so) and link
dynamically.

In theory there is RHUG, but that's only a CVS server and not very user
friendly; while sorely lacking documentation.

If someone is willing to animate a distribution web site for distribution of
sources and/or binaries and the comments that go with them, let me know. I
am sitting on a few natively compiled building bricks that may be of
interest to other people.
