Here is an example: # The following assumes that the 'mysql' user exists and that we installed MariaDB # in /usr/local/mysql
run the mysql_install_db script to generate the needed system tables.ensure the directory where you installed MariaDB is owned by the mysql user (if the user doesn't exist, you'll need to create it).Starting MariaDB for the First TimeĪfter installing MariaDB (using sudo make install), but prior to starting MariaDB for the first time, one should: The server binary will be sql/mariadbd or sql/mysqld. This configures the source for debugging and runs make.
Combined with -just-print shows configure options.īuild with full debug(no optimizations, keep call stack).Ī typical compilation used by a developer would be: shell>. Some common scripts-areĭon't actually run any commands just print them. The scripts are of type 'compile-#cpu#-how_to_build'. These are optimized for in source builds. There are also BUILD scripts for the most common systems for those that doesn't want to dig into cmake options. If you want to generate a binary tarball, run cpack If the commands above fail, you can enable more compilation information by doing: cmake -build. To build and install MariaDB after running cmake use cmake -build. server -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DMYSQL_MAINTAINER_MODE=OFF.Īll cmake configuration options for MariaDB can be displayed with: cmake. server -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debugīy default, MariaDB is compiled with the -Werror flag, which causes compiling to abort To do a build suitable for debugging use: cmake. Unfortunately this doesn't work on old platforms, like OpenSuse Leap 15.0, because MariaDB binary tarballs are built to minimize external dependencies, and that needs static libraries that might not be provided by the platform by default, and would need to be installed manually. This will configure the build to generate binary tarballs similar to release tarballs from. If you want it to be configured exactly as a normal MariaDB server release is built, use cmake. If you are building in the source directory, just omit. Where server is where you installed MariaDB. You can configure your build simply by running cmake without any special options, like cmake. In the base repository run: git clean -xffd & git submodule foreach -recursive git clean -xffd If you have built MariaDB in the past and have recently updated the repository, you should perform a complete cleanup of old artifacts (such as cmake configured files). It is recommended to create a build directory beside your source directory mkdir build-mariadb MariaDB 5.5 and above is compiled using cmake. If you don't want to run MariaDB as yourself, then you should create a Next, prepare your system to be able to compile the source.
