Hello,
I am trying to produce an automated, reliable, and repeatable way of
testing mysql releases, and I am finding an error that makes this
impossible to accomplish.
I am trying to compile mysql and install it in a non-standard directory.
I do notwant mysql installed in /usr or /usr/local. For example, I am
trying to install it in /tmp/msource with the configure line:
./configure --prefix=/tmp/msource --exec-prefix=/tmp/msource
--bindir=/tmp/msource/bin --sbindir=/tmp/msource/sbin
--localstatedir=/tmp/msource/lib --sysconfdir=/tmp/msource
--enable-assembler --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static
--with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-mysqld-user=tester
--with-unix-socket-path=/tmp/msource/var/run/mysql.sock
'make' and 'make install' succeed. I have also created a custom my.cnf
file installed in /tmp/msource/etc/my.cnf.
However, installing the database tables fails:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
$ /tmp/msource/bin/mysql_install_db --basedir=/tmp/msource
--datadir=/tmp/msource/data
Installing MySQL system tables...
100513 21:53:35 [ERROR] /tmp/msource/libexec/mysqld: unknown option
'--skip-bdb'
100513 21:53:35 [ERROR] Aborting
100513 21:53:35 [Note] /tmp/msource/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete
Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
/tmp/msource/data for more information.
You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:
shell> /tmp/msource/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &
and use the command line tool /tmp/msource/bin/mysql
to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /tmp/msource/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /tmp/msource/data that may be helpful.
Please consult the MySQL manual section
'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that
describes problems on your OS. Another information source are the
MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/.
Please check all of the above before mailing us! And remember, if
you do mail us, you MUST use the /tmp/msource/scripts/mysqlbug script!

The following error just won't go away:
100513 21:53:35 [ERROR] /tmp/msource/libexec/mysqld: unknown option
'--skip-bdb'
... even after I manually search for the location where this flag is
passed, and manually edit that source to never issue it.
[mysql-5.1.45-source]$ grep -irnH -- '--skip-bdb' *
mysql-test/mtr:4229: mtr_add_arg($args, "--skip-bdb");
mysql-test/mysql-test-run:4229: mtr_add_arg($args, "--skip-bdb");
mysql-test/lib/v1/mysql-test-run.pl:3925: mtr_add_arg($args, "%
s--skip-bdb", $prefix);
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:4229: mtr_add_arg($args,
"--skip-bdb");
scripts/mysql_install_db.pl.in:422:
"--skip-bdb",
Clearly something is wrong here. I don't know if mysql is accidentally
linking against some other, existing mysql library already present on my
test machine. In any case, it shouldn't be doing that. I suspected that
that somehow "/usr/bin/mysql_install_db" (for my existing MySQL
installation) was being called (which contains --skip-bdb). But even
after removing the --skip-bdb from that file the error persisted.
Any ideas on what the error might be, and how to fix it ?
Thanks for any help.
