We are happy to the midas release "midas-2019-06" with the build system implemented in cmake and the midas, mxml and mscb
projects switched to C++.

 25 Jun 2019, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, ERROR INSTALLING 32BIT MIDAS LIBRARIES ON 64BIT HOST MACHINE
|
Yikes, the error is in the CRC library. The assembly-optimized crc32c function fails to build, and the
error does not look familiar to me. I do not see this error here. What is your host system ("uname -
a") and what is your gcc ("gcc -v")?

If the latest midas does not work, try the previous release versions. "git tags" and "git branch -
a" will show you what exists. Look for branch and tag names in the form "midas-YYYY-MM".

Reproduced on el7 (CentOS7). Same thing works on el6 (SL6).
The error is in the SSE4.2-assembly-accelerated library for computing crc32c checksums. I do

Fixed in commit dd937e6. Only enable SSE4.2 crc32c for 64-bit compilation. Still not sure why it worked for 32-bit

Confirmed. my_global.h is removed in MySQL 8.0 (gives a compile error) and deprecated in
MariaDB 10.2 (gives a #warning).

Hi, Stefan, on second thought, I agree, I do not know of any scripting language implementation (packaged as a library or not) that
can store it's state in a file ("checkpoint the execution") and that can execute it's program "one line at a time", like the midas
sequencer does now. In the most severe case, one invocation of msequencer executes one line of the msl script.
