Is there any way I can compile the files for linux on my p3 500 (win2k) and then tranfer the compiled files to my 486 (RH7). I hate having to wait like over 4 hours to compile a program like mysql

probably not. what you can do is run vmware, load linux on it (so you don't have to repartition) and then compile the program.

Only if you install Linux on that p3-500, linux is not binary compatible with windows ( any version)

Have you tried using pre-compiled binaires???

You can get MySql and other programs pre-compiled to run on your platform, provided that
you have the right libraries installed to run them with....

mysql-3.22 downloadable binaires....

Good luck

I couldnt use the precompile one, I have a 486 system running linux so it wont work with the i686 version.

there's GOT to be some flag for GCC to force it to compile a generic binary...

But the page also has i386 server binaries. The link is on the bottom of the page.

Hmmmm, maybe. If there's a chance at all you need to get cygwin. You can read about it here:
