[Mono-list] MySQL Connector/NET vs Mono

[Bernhard Herzog]

Aha, that's good news. I just downloaded the source and have seen that there is support for Unix Sockets, right?

What do I need to compile? Define __MonoCS__? I get this error:

mysqlclient\SharedMemoryStream.cs(94) error CS0030: Cannot convert type 'int' to 'System.UIntPtr'
mysqlclient\SharedMemoryStream.cs(154) error CS0030: Cannot convert type 'int' to 'System.UIntPtr'

Best Regards
Bernhard

  Win32 specific code was added to the connector to work around limitations in the Socket class.  I am not yet shipping Mono tested binaries (though I am working on including this) and so it was an oversight that 1.0.5 shipped broken on Mono.  I will correct it in the next release.

  MySQL *is not* abandoning Mono.  In fact, I have talked with Miguel about getting Connector/Net shipping with Mono.

    If people are having problems running the MySQL Connector/NET on Mono, people could report these bugs to MySQL's bug database or wherever it is or a message to their public forum or mailing list to let them know.

    However, I do believe "we" should continue to maintain ByteFX.Data since it works with Mono and it is distributed with Mono.  Nobody has stepped up to maintain it.  Any takers?

    When having problems, it is usually good to include version info too:
    What version of Mono?  Version of the MySQL database?  Version of MySQL Connector/Net?  Operating System/Processor?

    I have read that ByteFX.Data fails to run on newer 4.x and 5.0 databases.

      Hi,

      I had lots of problems using the MySQL Connector under Mono and
      eventually reverted to using ByteFX - supported or not!

      However, If Joe's way works, then that is cool.
