Hello all. I am compiling on Snow Leopard following the instructions for the 64bit builds. Everything works fine, however there are a couple of thing that i wish to bring to your attention, in case i should.. well pay attention to.. :)

a) I am building Mysql from source, creating the proper startup plist file and ->everytime<- i do this, when i reboot the machine - immediately after building it - the computer freezes while shutting down. I have to use the power button in order to turn it off, then on again and the incident never occurs again, despite the number of reboots. Just that first time. What could be a possible reason for this behaviour?

b) No my.cnf file is being created automatically under /etc. Is there a way to force this?

c) No php.ini file is being created automatically under /etc. despite the fact that i use

--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-config-file-path=/etc \

when configuring. Why is this happening? Of course addind a php.ini file under /etc works fine afterwards, but one must find (somewhere) a vanilla php.ini file, which i don' t know where it might be.

Please assist, if possible.

Welcome....

I'll try to answer your questions as well as I can.

a) Never seen this behavior before. Did you install the binary version first?

b) Not that I know of, just create a copy.

c) same as b.

Forgot to add the vanilla php.ini and my.cnf can be found in the source directory.
