This should certainly be possible. I have forwarded your message to our build team. > In the absence of these apparently faster improved versions of MySQL if we > did want to make our own binaries using 10.3 can some talk us Mac guys (who > haven't had the long history of building our own binaries most of the Unix > guys have) through the exact process of getting the source code and > compiling it on our systems? The general compile process is documented in the manual at www.mysql.com/doc/, with specifics for various platforms. I won't speculate what the specific issues for this new environment might be. When the build engineers have the details, we'll update the manual accordingly.
