apt-get install cmake g++ git

Fedora/Redhat/CentOS

yum install -y cmake gcc gcc-c++ git make

Mac OSX

for MacOS <= 10.13 (High Sierra) < 13 (Ventura) with MacPorts package manager:

sudo port install cmake pkgconfig

Additionally the following packages are optional:

Development Libraries

Ubuntu/Debian

apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev

Fedora/Redhat/CentOS

yum install glib2-devel pcre-devel openssl-devel

OpenSUSE

zypper install glib2-devel pcre-devel

Mac OSX

port install glib2 pcre

MySQL/Percona/MariaDB development libraries

You need to select one vendor development library.

Ubuntu/Debian

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
apt-get install libperconaserverclient20-dev
apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev

Fedora/Redhat/CentOS

yum install -y mysql-devel
yum install -y Percona-Server-devel-57
yum install -y mariadb-devel

OpenSUSE

zypper install libmysqlclient-devel

Mac OSX

MacOS <= 10.13 (High Sierra) < 13 (Ventura) with MacPorts package manager

sudo port install mariadb-10.11
sudo port select mysql

CMake

CMake is used for MyDumper’s build system and is executed as follows:

cmake .
make
sudo make install

You can optionally provide parameters for CMake, the possible options are:

  • -DMYSQL_CONFIG=/path/to/mysql_config - The path and filename for the mysql_config executable
  • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/path - The path where mydumper should be installed

One has to make sure, that pkg-config, mysql_config, pcre-config are all in $PATH

Binlog dump is disabled by default to compile with it you need to add -DWITH_BINLOG=ON to cmake options

To build against mysql libs < 5.7 you need to disable SSL adding -DWITH_SSL=OFF

Documentation

If you wish to just compile the documentation you can do so with:

cmake .
make doc_html

or for a man page output:

cmake .
make doc_man
