Compile Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 from source¶
The following instructions install Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.
Install Percona Server for MySQL from the Git Source Tree¶
Percona uses the Github revision
control system for development. To build the latest Percona Server for MySQL
from the source tree, you will need git installed on your system.
You can now fetch the latest Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 sources.
$ git clone https://github.com/percona/percona-server.git
$ cd percona-server
$ git checkout 8.0
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
If you are going to be making changes to Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 and wanting to distribute the resulting work, you can generate a new source tarball (exactly the same way as we do for release):
$ cmake .
$ make dist
After either fetching the source repository or extracting a source tarball (from Percona or one you generated yourself), you will now need to configure and build Percona Server for MySQL.
First, run CMake to configure the build. Here you can specify all the normal build options as you do for a normal MySQL build. Depending on what options you wish to compile Percona Server for MySQL with, you may need other libraries installed on your system. Here is an example using a configure line similar to the options that Percona uses to produce binaries:
$ cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release -DFEATURE_SET=community
Compile from source¶
Now, compile using make:
$ make
Install:
$ make install
Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 is installed on your system.
