"Dynamic plugins fail to load on FreeBSD"
ELF executables need to be linked using the -export-dynamic option to
ld(1) for symbols defined in the executable to become visible to dlsym().
Also, do not build plugins on an all-static build.
5.1-related fixes
libmysqld/Makefile.am fixed to recompile and link ha_*.cc files that
keep dependance on THD structure.
Minor fixes to make tests working.
Problem is that some files moved to storage/*/ still are dependent
on sql/ code (usually use members of THD structure)
that can get different being compiled with another #define-s
Code added to recompile these for the embedded server
for push in 5.1 (I will inform Trudy).
Storage engines and plugins can now have unit tests to test their components; such
test must be an executable C/C++ program which name ends with '-t' and which is
obeys the mytap protocol, it must be stored in the storage engine's or plugin's
source directory (storage/<engine> or plugin/<plugin>) or any subdirectories of
this.
The top-level Makefile target "test-unit" will run all unit tests: it will scan
the engines' and plugins' directories, recursively, and execute all executable
files which name ends with '-t'."
