I don't have much experience with MySQL server, but I am working on a project which consists of a Java application accessing MySQL databases. The program is packaged with the mysqld binary for Windows, and the Java program simply executes the binary with a few options (specifically --basedir, --tmpdir, --datadir, and --standalone).
Now I'm trying to get this running on Mac OS X. I downloaded the appropriate MySQL version, and changed the syntax to run mysqld with the same options, but I have two problems so far: 1. It says it does not recognize the "--standalone" option 2. When I take that option out, it says "Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist". This, to me, suggests I need to install MySQL properly. But I don't want it to have to be installed! Any suggestions?
