Compiling from source

Installing library dependencies:

The easiest and recommended way is to use your package manager to install

all build dependencies for the drizzle package. This will always

install an up to date list of dependencies.

If drizzle is not yet included in your distribution, then please configure

your package manager to use these Drizzle repositories:

DEB: http://docs.drizzle.org/installing/ubuntu.html

RPM: http://docs.drizzle.org/installing/redhat.html

Then start the build process with executing

sudo apt-get build-dep drizzle

or

yum-builddep drizzle

Compiling:

If you got the source from bzr, run:

./config/autorun.sh

The following steps are the same regardless of where you got the source

./configure --prefix=${HOME}/builds/drizzle && make && make test || echo "FAIL $?"

More information on compiling can be found at: http://docs.drizzle.org/installing/from_source.html

Running Drizzle:

be sure you configured with a prefix before running make install

make install cd ${HOME}/builds/drizzle ./sbin/drizzled --no-defaults --mysql-protocol.port=3306
--basedir=$PWD --datadir=$PWD/var
>> $PWD/var/drizzle.err 2>&1 &
