I am a newbie to linux and mysql and would like some advice re
installing mysql source code on corel linux.
I have successfully installed a binary version of Mysql (now
deleted) but need to compile and install a source version, as I want
to next install PHP.which I understand needs the source code
distribuion of Mysql.
The mysql version is 3-23-38
I have followed the instructions from the Mysql documentation as
follows-
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> gunzip < mysql-VERSION.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
shell> cd mysql-VERSION
shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --ser=mysql &
Everything is OK up to and including line 5, the config command.
The make command results in an error message which is because
the makefile file does not exist.
I have installed autoconf and automake and rerun the config file OK
which recognises autoconf and automake
I then run automake ( instead of the make command) and
processing takes place for a few seconds without any messages.
However no mysql/bin folders or files have been created that I
would expect from the compile/install process.
Can anyone tell me what I have missed pls.
Cheers Barrie Lees
