How to compile MySQL from source.
Compiling MySQL from the source code.
1). Download the latest stable MySQL release from http://www.mysql.org/
2). Untar the archive:
| $> tar vzxf mysql-{VER}.tar.gz |
3). Enter the MySQL directory:
4). Configure, make and install MySQL - this may take some time.
$> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
$> make
$> make install |
5). Install the default tables.
| $> ./scripts/mysql_install_db |
6). Create a new user and group for MySQL.
|
$> groupadd mysql
$> useradd -g mysql mysql
|
7). Set the permissions on the MySQL directories.
$> chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
$> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
$> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql |
8). Copy the default MySQL configuration script to "/etc/"
| $> cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf |
9). Start MySQL.
| $> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql

10). Optional: Link the MySQL libraries to your lib path (needed
for PHP and Perl DBI)

/usr/lib/ |
