The official automatic builds will still only support mysql 4.0 because the mysql runtime libraries are not binary compatible, and as such a binary built against the mysql 4.0 libraries will not work with a mysql 5.0 (or even 4.1 it seems) runtime... however I believe that you COULD install the 4.0 client libraries and the 5.0 server, get eqemu to use the 4.0 client, and connect to the 5.0 server (just a guess)... so far, I havent seen any concrete evidence that 4.1 or 5.0 is any better for eqemu, so until that happens (or 4.0 becomes too hard to obtain), the auto builds will stay on 4.0.
As for the "it is a windows thing" statements, the fact of that matter is that Doodman and I use linux for our servers and development, and as such, do not test the code on windows. Occasionally, I spend some time to build on windows and do basic sanity tests, but I am neither set up nor willing to do extensive testing on windows. We welcome any contributions made by the community to improve windows compatibility.
Please do not take such a negative attitude in the future towards the work we do here. Talking crap about us or the code does nothing but aggrivate us, help is appriciated, criticism without solution provided is not.
