[solved] what is the requirement for Berkerley DB ? => real db 1.x is required
yopito opened this issue · comments
hello,
I've built successfully nvi2 with db 5.3 or db 18.1, both with db 1.85 compat mode enabled ("--enable-compat185")
However, nvi2 runtime fails with this message from (lib)db:
Berkeley DB: DB 1.85's recno bfname field is not supported.
So nvi2 requires a "real" db 1.85 ? 1.85 compat mode is not supported ? or my build is a mess ?
I think yes then, nvi's mechanism for keeping a recovery file is to have a B-tree in memory as well as on disk.
I've also built nvi 1.81.6 with either db 5 or db 18: no such a problem, its runtime is fine.
nvi 1.8x and this project are of different code bases. The former is built on top of db>=3 and subjects to Sleepycat/GPL, this project is BSD-licensed, only.
yep, I see that nvi2 comes from nvi 1.79, it was just a "comparison".
So have to use "real" db 1.x for nvi2.
Thanks for your reply.
