Chapter 2: MySQL Installation 83 2.3.2 Applying Patches Sometimes patches appear on the mailing list or are placed in the patches area of the MySQL web site (http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Patches/). To apply a patch from the mailing list, save the message in which the patch appears in a le, change into the top-level directory of your MySQL source tree, and run these commands: shell> patch -p1 < patch-file-name shell> rm config.cache shell> make clean Patches from the FTP site are distributed as plain text les or as les compressed with gzip. Apply a plain patch as shown previously for mailing list patches. To apply a com- pressed patch, change into the top-level directory of your MySQL source tree and run these commands: shell> gunzip < patch-file-name.gz | patch -p1 shell> rm config.cache shell> make clean After applying a patch, follow the instructions for a normal source install, beginning with the ./configure step. After running the make install step, restart your MySQL server. You may need to bring down any currently running server before you run make install. (Use mysqladmin shutdown to do this.) Some systems do not allow you to install a new version of a program if it replaces the version that is currently executing. 2.3.3 Typical configure Options The configure script gives you a great deal of control over how you congure your MySQL distribution. Typically you do this using options on the configure command-line. You can also aect configure using certain environment variables. See Appendix F [Environment variables], page 770. For a list of options supported by configure, run this command: shell> ./configure --help Some of the more commonly-used configure options are described here: To compile just the MySQL client libraries and client programs and not the server, use the --without-server option: shell> ./configure --without-server If you don't have a C++ compiler, mysql will not compile (it is the one client program that requires C++). In this case, you can remove the code in configure that tests for the C++ compiler and then run ./configure with the --without-server option. The compile step will still try to build mysql, but you can ignore any warnings about `mysql.cc'. (If make stops, try make -k to tell it to continue with the rest of the build even if errors occur.) If you want to get an embedded MySQL library (libmysqld.a) you should use the --with-embedded-server option. If you don't want your log les and database directories located under `/usr/local/var', use a configure command, something like one of these:
