After taking a look through the archives, I realize you need to use MySQL 4 to compile mysqlcc. I personally think this is wrong, especially since MySQL 4 is in gamma. You can use mysqlcc on a mysql 3.23 database, so why not allow it to compile with MySQL 3.23?

There are a couple other issues that I want to raise however.

1) the configure script is broken for Debian. it doesn't find the qglobal.h file because it's in /usr/include/qt instead of $QTDIR/include like it wants. To fix this, you have to patch configure, aclocal.m4 and acinclude.m4 to use

This is a bug in the QT packaing on Debian. You have to specift $QTDIR yourself apparently

Not really. I'd classify it as Qt not following the standard that is put out there and instead developing their own. If they followed the standard, this wouldn't be as problem.

#include <qt/qglobal.h>

instead of

#include <qglobal.h>

This would break _all_ compilations where QTDIR is defined.

then QTDIR should be defined as /usr and it works. Besides, we're not talking about all compilations, we're talking about mysqlcc ;-)

I'm willing to make debian packages for mysqlcc (since no one has yet to my knowledge).

I have the ITP for a week or two :)

Dang you! ;-)

Finally, I haven't looked at the FAQ's for this list or anything, but looking at the list archives, this list receives a TON of spam. Can't this be made a subscriber only list to prevent this? It's a lot of wasted bandwidth.

Probably not for the same reason Debian lists don't have that.

Maybe, but I disagree with them too. All lists should be subscriber only, period. It would eliminate extra spam in people's mailboxes.
