Compiling MySQL from source code.

What you need:

  1. GNU gzip to uncompress the distribution.
  2. A reasonable tar to unpack the distribution. GNU tar is known to work.
  3. A working ANSI C++ compiler. gcc >= 2.7, SGI C++, SunPro C++ are some of the compilers that are known to work. libg++ is not needed when using gcc.
  4. A good make program. If you have problems we recommend trying GNU make.
