[Monetdb-developers] Problem (and possible fix!) with monetdbd.conf path as specified in Makefile.in
by Eric G 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hello list, I'm currently trying to use the OpenSUSE build service (http://build.openeuse.org) to build packages RPMs for for CentOS and RedHat distributions, and i think I've found a bug in a Makefile for MonetDB. Essentially it looks like the explicit path /etc/tmpfiles.d/monetdbd.conf is used in the Makefile located here: MonetDB-11.5.9/buildtools/conf/Makefile.in ...and the RPM build process doesn't like that. OpenSUSE essentially implicitly enables the "norootdir" option in the spec file (regardless of if it's actually present or not) because RPMs are built is special purpose-built VMs that are provisioned when a "job" to build an RPM is submitted, and the build process doesn't run as root. See here and here for more discussion on this problem (it's a common problem apparently): http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/Building+RPM+tips http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tips_and_Tricks#Permission_de… I think the "fix" is as simple as inserting "$(prefix)" into the line in Makefile.in, so that the build path is used to create the temporary folder instead of attempting to writing to the system-wide /etc folder (the build fails on the Makefile's install phase with permission denied errors because of this static path). Am I on to something here? If I'm right, can the Makefile.in file be patched please, adding $(prefix)? -- Thanks, Eric

Hi all, want to try monetdb C API. I've read the examples including Mapi.h from mapilib directory. I do not find any mapilib dir. On windows Mapi.h is in the lib dir under monetdb root. On linux Mapi.h is in /usr/include/monetdb. Are the examples updated with the last monetdb distribution? I've read Mapi.h. Mapi type is defined as MapiStruct* but I can't find any definition for MapiStruct in Mapi.h. The same holds for MapiHdl vs MapiStatement*. Am I missing something? Thank you for any answer.

Sorry for insisting, I'm interested in learning more about monetdb, but I've some difficulties in finding the informations I'm searching for. I would like to learn more about the C API, so I'm searching for some coding examples. The only thing I found was presumably an old example (as Stefan told me) about mapi usage that unfortunately doesn't work for me with monetdb current release (tried both linux and windows releases). I wrote two times to the developer list but at the moment no meaningful answer. Am I missing something? Have monetdb a still live developer community.? Should I take a direct contact to info(a)monetdb.org? Should I use bugzilla tracker? Hope not to annoy anyone. Best regards. -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dott.

Hi Stefan, I'm viewing the docs on http:// http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Manuals/SQLreference/Programming/MAPI, isn't this the right place? Thanks for answering.

Hi all, trying to build the Mapi example I can't find monetdb-config and/or monetdb-clients-config. Where do I get them? Thanks
