[Tracker] Some Questions

[Gergan Penkov <gpp666_999 yahoo de>]

Hi, 
first thanks for this wonderful application, it really
shows great promises.
I'm trying to build it on a gentoo-system, using the
portage, in fact I'm having it running but I had few
problems and worked around some of them.
First it seems that on gentoo I need to add the
openssl-libraries in order for it to compile&link, it
could be because I use the --as-needed linker flag,
and mysql_config does not provide the openssl-flags:
mysql_config --libmysqld-libs
-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz
-lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt
now I've patched the configure.in in this probably not
overly correct way:
@@ -66,10 +66,16 @@
 if test $? != 0 ; then
     AC_MSG_ERROR(Could not find the MySQL
Embedded-server libraries.)
 fi
+
+PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SSL, [ openssl >= 0.9.6 ])
+AC_SUBST(SSL_CFLAGS)
+AC_SUBST(SSL_LIBS)
+
 MYSQL_CFLAGS=`$MYSQL_CONFIG --cflags`
 MYSQL_CFLAGS=`eval echo $MYSQL_CFLAGS`
 MYSQL_LIBS=`eval echo $MYSQL_LIBS`
-
+MYSQL_CFLAGS="$MYSQL_CFLAGS $SSL_CFLAGS"
+MYSQL_LIBS="$MYSQL_LIBS $SSL_LIBS"
 # Now test that we can actually build with MySQL
 save_CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS"
 CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $MYSQL_CFLAGS"

And it compiles and installs just fine.
The next problem is again with mysql, now I haven't
looked very thouroughly at the implementation, but
every user is supposed to run its own instance of the
tracker with its own db?
or the idea is to have a single tracker with a single
db?
I suppose it is the first one as I do not see anything
user related in the db.
Now the problems in the moment, on which I have
stumbled, could be probably gentoo-specific, are:
out of the box it could not run, because I have mysql
installed and running (which I need) and it tries to
get the same lock and use the system db.
now I've tried to make some changes to the main my.cnf
file (and to the source) and to move the default db
for tracker_client and tracker_server to some other
place (not /var/lib/mysql/) , but again as the only
tracker-db on the system, which again was not
successful.
Now with some changes to the main my.cnf and the
source I'm able to run it for one of my users and it
creates the db in ~/.Tracker as the other files. If
this is the idea, it probably should install a
my.cnf-file in the ~/.Tracker directory and load the
settings in the db_connect-function, in this way it
will not conflict with the system mysql-deamons.

Thanks in advance for any possible explanations or
correct fixes of these issues.

Cheers,
Gergan
