Re: no pbxt in maria/5.5 build
also no xtstat program and it doesn't show up as plugin and doesn't show up in "show engines;"

Re: no pbxt in maria/5.5 build
Cannot repeat:

5.5 $ cmake -L | grep -i pbxt
– MariaDB 5.5.18-MariaDB
WITH_PBXT_STORAGE_ENGINE:BOOL=ON

it is not built in by default, but BUILD/-max scripts enable it.

Re: no pbxt in maria/5.5 build
i don't get it...

i don't seem to have this PBXT_STORAGE line...

also the max scripts seem to use ./canfigure, but there is no such file? i don't understand, i just did a bzr pull to doublecheck?

Re: no pbxt in maria/5.5 build
double-check that you have mariadb 5.5 tree.
./configure is generated by the BUILD/* scripts. It will be a perl wrapper that invokes cmake.

Re: no pbxt in maria/5.5 build
i meant configure of course.

can i ask you if you have local modifications in your 5.5 branch?

Launchpad bug id: 891006

Now that there is no PBXT support anymore, and had not been ever in 5.5 there won't be fix for it.

I do recall there was yet another idea of making WITH_XXX_STORAGE_ENGINE variables behavior more logical, i.e allowing for 3 values (static, shared, off) , however now I'm not sure it is worth spending effort, especially since it would likely run in compatibility issues with MySQL/distros etc
