You need the following tools to build and install MySQL from source:
-
GNU
gunzip to uncompress the distribution.
-
A reasonable
tar to unpack the distribution. GNU tar is
known to work.
-
A working ANSI C++ compiler.
gcc >= 2.8.1, egcs >=
1.0.2, SGI C++ and SunPro C++ are some of the compilers that are known to
work. libg++ is not needed when using gcc. gcc
2.7.x has a bug that makes it impossible to compile some perfectly legal
C++ files, such as `sql/sql_base.cc'. If you only have gcc 2.7.x,
you must upgrade your gcc to be able to compile MySQL.
-
A good
make program. GNU make is always recommended and is
sometimes required. If you have problems, we recommend trying GNU
make 3.75 or newer.
If you run into problems, PLEASE ALWAYS USE mysqlbug when
posting questions to mysql@lists.mysql.com. Even if the problem
isn't a bug, mysqlbug gathers system information that will help others
solve your problem. By not using mysqlbug, you lessen the likelihood
of getting a solution to your problem! You will find mysqlbug in the
`scripts' directory after you unpack the distribution. Confère section 2.3 Comment rapporter des bugs et des problèmes.
