Test builds of the COOL code in the nightlies (not installed on the LCG AA AFS release area) have also been prepared for the following platforms:

Certification details

 Support for COOL on a given platform is only declared if the software passes all tests from the three COOL test suites (or if a limited number of tests fail, for well-understood reasons): The following matrix displays the detailed certification status for the seven supported platforms (green) and the unsupported test platforms (red) against the three COOL test suites.

All links in the table refer to the logfiles of the tests executed using QMTEST against libraries built using CMT.

Linux gcc41 (slc4_ia32_gcc41) passes all tests on the available backends, in private tests using copies of the nightly builds of ROOT, SEAL and CORAL and a workaround for configuration issues not addressed in LCG_Policy, as well as in the nightly builds directly. This platform is however not officially supported in LCG AA and will probably never be (as it is mainly intended only to test gcc41 in view of the move from SLC4 to SLC5, and it was agreed that the next LCG release should instead use gcc42).

Database server certification details

Oracle

Oracle tests are executed against an Oracle 10.2.0.3 server.

MySQL

MySQL tests are executed against a MySQL 5.0 server.

MySQL 4.0 servers are not supported: several problems observed on this server version have been solved by the upgrade to MySQL 5.0 servers:

It was also reported by Sven that the following lines are needed in your /etc/my.cnf even if you are using MySQL servers version 5 (otherwise your tests may fail with "MySQL errno:1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax"): 
[mysqld]
# ANSI double quotes
ansi

Frontier

Frontier tests are executed against a Frontier 3.9 server.

Frontier 3.8 servers are not supported: several problems observed on this server version have been solved by the upgrade to Frontier 3.9 servers (and the simultaneous upgrade to CORAL_1_9_2):
