These notes/hints are for ourselves (SSL SETI/BOINC group) but they might be
useful to others

COMPILING
=========

32-bit:
-------

Use 32-bit mysql CLIENT libraries (although server could be 64-bit) in
/usr/local/mysql_32bit: 

        ./configure MYSQL_CONFIG=/usr/local/mysql_32bit/bin/mysql_config

64-bit:
-------

On Koloth, use these flags to link with mysql-max-64bit:
     -L /usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lsocket -lnsl -lm -m64 -Wl,-R,/usr/local/gcc/lib/sparcv9

Therefore configure like this:
      ./configure CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 LDFLAGS='-Wl,-R,/usr/local/gcc/lib/sparcv9'

The -m64 compile flag generates 64-bit code and is necessary because the mysql
libraries are 64-bit.

The -Wl,-R tells the linker to set the dynamic library search path (for C++)
to the 64-bit versions (default /usr/local/gcc/lib has 32-bit libraries with
the same name).


CRON SETUP
==========

Need to set PATH to include python executable; need to set PYTHONPATH to
include PyXML module.

crontab:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /mydisks/a/users/boincadm/projects/cron/cron-astropulse

cron-astropulse:


PATH=/opt/misc/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
PYTHONPATH=/disks/koloth/a/users/boincadm/pkg/Pyxml/PyXML-0.8.2/build/lib.solaris-2.9-sun4u-2.2
export PATH PYTHONPATH
