[Python]在cygwin下编译MySQLdb for python

进入cygwin的Shell，解压MySQLdb：

tar -xvzf MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz

cd MySQL-python-1.2.2

首先修改MySQLdb的编译配置文件：site.cfg，在MySQL-python-1.2.2目录下。

找到[options]项进行如下修改：

放开mysql_config = /usr/local/bin/mysql_config一行，屏蔽#registry_key = SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Server 5.0一行，因为cygwin属于类Linux不是Windows。

由于我们用在PC机上所以设置embedded为False。

设置threadsafe为False；我们尽量采用静态编译，static设为True。

最后的[options]如下：

[options]

# embedded: link against the embedded server library

# threadsafe: use the threadsafe client

# static: link against a static library (probably required for embedded)

embedded = False

threadsafe = False

static = True

# The path to mysql_config.

# Only use this if mysql_config is not on your PATH, or you have some weird

# setup that requires it.

mysql_config = /usr/local/bin/mysql_config

# The Windows registry key for MySQL.

# This has to be set for Windows builds to work.

# Only change this if you have a different version.

#registry_key = SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Server 5.0

cd MySQL-python-1.2.2

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

在安装过程中可能会要求下载setuptools，按要求下载即可。

另外安装完毕后为.egg文件，也可以使用lib.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5下的文件，即直接将文件拷贝到python的site-packages就能使用。
