I'm trying to follow the [instructions](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/source-installation.html) for building MySQL from source. They guide me to a [link](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/getting-mysql.html) where I can download the latest GA. I end up at the downloads [page](http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/) , where I can download
mysql-5.6.19-osx10.7-x86_64.tar.gz
for my mac, and then untar and unzip.
All good so far. But when I try to cmake .
per the instructions, I get an error saying that it can't find CMakeLists.txt
. Poking around looking for that, I've discovered that the download doesn't come with any actual source code except .h
files. In fact, the download looks like an already-built setup with binaries such as mysqld
already there.
I am probably missing something obvious, but I can't figure out where I'm supposed to get the full source code and the makefile, if not from the links provided under the title, "Installing MySQL Using a Standard Source Distribution". Anyone have an idea?
