Compiling MySQL from Source
OK, I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo.
Generally the binary distributions are easier to work with, but I need SSL
connections capability, so I have to compile from source to have that feature
included. Her is how...........
Objectives
- Same directory layout as the standard binary installation.
- Same general features as typical standard binary installation
- SSL client connection support
I performed my source installation with help from MySQL guide and this Apple Developer article with notes/clarifications for OS X Tiger.
Starting config. Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8, XCode 2.4.1 (available on your Tiger install disk or from connect.apple.com free online membership)
OpenSSL is already installed as part of OS X
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
Turn off auto-expand in your browser and download the tarball source distribution from mysql.com. I downloaded version 4.1.22 and put it in a directory named 'dev' in my home directory. You will find the "Tarball" source distribution on the same page as the corresponding binary downloads at the bottom of the page. There are about a half dozen source distributions listed.
cd into the directory containing the archive and do the following:
$ gunzip < mysql-4.1.22.tar.gz | gnutar -xvf -
$ ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 4 kieran staff 136 Mar 7 14:43 .
drwxrwxr-x 11 kieran staff 374 Mar 7 16:18 ..
drwxr-xr-x 71 kieran staff 2414 Mar 7 15:22 mysql-4.1.22
-rw-r--r-- 1 kieran wheel 17761101 Mar 7 13:55 mysql-4.1.22.tar.gz
$ cd mysql-4.1.22
the next step is the build configuration. The configuration of your build depends on your processor type. I will add more variations here as I come across different processors that I need to compile for. Then I configured the build using the following, however I am sure there could be other options . This is one BIG command (the '\' are continuations), and the default version of gcc at the writing of this article was 4.01. ( gcc --version )
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (Processor = 2.33 Core 2 Duo) Configuration Command
$ CC=gcc CFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common' CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS='-O3 -felide-constructors \
-fno-common' ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/mysql' \
'--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data' '--libexecdir=/usr/local/mysql/bin' \
'--enable-thread-safe-client' '--enable-local-infile' '--with-pic' \
'--disable-shared' '--with-zlib-dir=bundled' '--with-readline' \
'--with-archive-storage-engine' '--with-innodb' '--with-extra-charsets=complex' \
'--with-vio' '--with-openssl'
PowerPC G4 Build Configuration Command
$ CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CXX=gcc \
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data \
--with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client \
--enable-local-infile --with-innodb --disable-shared --with-vio --with-openssl
PowerPC G5 64-bit

After that run make (which may take a while)
$ make
Next, install, which is quicker
$ sudo make install
If you look in the /usr/local/mysql directory, you will see that we still don't have a data directory, so now create and initialize the data directory with
$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_install_db --force
Of course, set the permissions so only mysql has access to the data dir
$ sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
$ sudo chmod -R 750 /usr/local/mysql/data
Next launch mysqld
$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
Secure the root user in the usual way .
Startup Item
Well the startup item is not working on these source builds of MySQL, so since Startup Items are being deprecated anyway in OS X Tiger, I just made a launchd plist file similar to those you will find if you google for 'mysql launchd'.
Verifying my SSL capability, log in and...
