A new build using the latest MySQL release is scheduled for the end of this month. The client applications may be found at the misc downloading section of the orginal MySQL distribution at TcX. Currently a build of the daemon (mysqld) is not possible since the pthread functions are very experimental within the latest cygwin snapshot and are not supposed to work correct. But we are focusing on this issue. > I have a UNIX application that I'd like to run under Windows (it's a > server, so there are no GUI portions).

Yes, our Cygwin port of the libmysqlclient.a library is available at http://www.student.uni-koeln.de/cygwin/Distribution/Library > I'm using the Windows demo version of MySQL (3.21.29). this should work fine. Consider to have a view on our camp-1.1b1 distribution containing Cygwin ports of apache-1.3.4 (with php-3.0.6, ssleay-0.9.0b and other modules) Regards, Stipe -- Stipe Tolj Cygwin Porting Project -- "We build UNIX on top of Windows" http://www.student.uni-koeln.de/cygwin Department of Economical Computer Science University of Cologne, Germany
