1 First let me state, this module is an anonymous third party contribution
2 (nevertheless released under theBSD License mwcollect is released under as well)
3 with very ugly code. I did little compilation time fixing for this and no runtime
4 testing at all! Please report *anything* you have to say about this module.
5
6 Only supported under Linux (specifically Makefile.LINUX) and only tested under
7 Debian unstable yet.
8
9 1) Building bin/modules/submit-mysql.so
10 You can simply type `make submit-mysql` in the mwcollect base directory. This
11 module depends on libz and libmysql-client-1.4 (both developer's versions of
12 course).
13
14 2) Configuring submit-mysql
15 The update .conf.dist contains a commented-out block for submit-mysql, which
16 should explain all config vars.
17
18 3) Configuring your MySQL database
19 You should create a new table using the `mw_data.sql' script in src/submit-mysql
20 under whatever database you like.
21
22 Have fun and *please* report anything, including simple `works as described'
23 stories. If I get >= 3 success stories, I will release this together with 2.1.1
24 (still as optional module, because not everybody wants to fullfill mysql
25 dependencies if not using the module at all).
