Subject:Help a Novice With Installation
View as plain text  
I want to install mySql++. I am running mac OS X.3.4. I have just 
updated XCode to the latest version, which includes GCC 3.3.

I see on the web site that there is a static library for Mac OS X. It 
decompresses to a single file. I have dragged it into XCode into the 
External Frameworks section. But surely I will still need headers to 
effectively use it?

So I downloaded the source distribution. I made an attempt, contacted 
Sinisa, who promptly responded thus:

> README is wrong now.

> Apply patches for your compiler and just run ./configure ; make.

I guess I would respectfully suggest that the README be changed. But in 
any event, I obtained and decompressed the source distribution again. I 
didn't see any patches for GCC 3.3. Then I did the following.

> [iMac-dv:~] kj% cd 
> /Applications/Databases/SQL/APIs/mySQL-APIs-C++/Official/mysql++-1.7.9
> [iMac-dv:mySQL-APIs-C++/Official/mysql++-1.7.9] kj% ./configure ; make
> tcsh: ./configure: Permission denied.
> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[at this point, in another session, I launched the mySQL server, in 
case it was needed]

Help me please.
