compiling with sphinxse and handlersocket plugin, creating a binary package out of compiled source.

[Johann Vincent Paul Tagle]

Hi all,

I use MySQL and Percona for quite some time now but I'm quite new to compiling from source.  I need to do a recompile in order to include the Sphinx plugin, and I'm able to do so.  However, I noticed that the build I created doesn't include the handlersocket files in the lib/mysql/plugin directory.  I've tried different variations of the name (handlersocket, handler_socket, etc) as part of the --with-plugins parameter, but I always get "unknown plugin" error.  Can somebody point me to the correct configuration parameters to include handlersocket?

Also, my other objective is to create a binary package, so that we don't have to recompile every time we fire up a new server.  So my idea is to set the --prefix and --exec-prefix to point to a single directory or maybe two directories within a single parent directory, then just move around the directories to have the same layout as the downloaded linux binaries.  Will this work or am I missing something?

Thanks

Johann

We have the ./build/build-binary.sh script in the source tree that may
help you. There is also scripts there to build RPM and DEBs.

Hi Stewart.  Thanks for the response and apologies for the late reply as I'm only able to go back to this issue now.  I can't seem to find any build-binary.sh in the ./BUILD directory though.  There's autorun.sh, build_mccge.sh, cmake_configure.sh, FINISH.sh and SETUP.sh.  Also did a recursive search on the whole source directory for all .sh files and I still cannot find anything that could be the script you mentioned.  Can you clarify?  Thanks.

Okay I found scripts/make_binary_distribution, which I ran after make.  But my resulting package still doesn't have handlersocket.  What parameter(s) do I need to include when I run configure so that it will include handlersocket?

Thanks

Johann
