6.2.3. Installing MySQL Proxy from the Bazaar repository

The MySQL Proxy source is available through a public Bazaar repository and is the quickest way to get hold of the latest releases and fixes.

To build from the Bazaar repository, you need the following components already installed:

  • Bazaar 1.10.0 or later

  • libtool 1.5 or higher

  • autoconf 2.56 or higher

  • automake 1.10 or higher

  • libevent 1.x or higher (1.3b or later is preferred)

  • lua 5.1.x or higher

  • glib2 2.4.0 or higher

  • pkg-config

  • MySQL 5.0.x or higher developer files

The mysql-proxy source is hosted on Launchpad. To checkout a local copy of the Bazaar repository, use bzr: 

shell> bzr branch lp:mysql-proxy

The above command will download a complete version of the Bazaar repository for mysql-proxy. The main source files are located within the trunk subdirectory. The configuration scripts need to be generated before you can configure and build mysql-proxy. The autogen.sh script will generate the configuration scripts for you: 

shell> sh ./autogen.sh

The script creates the standard configure script, which you can then use to configure and build with make: 

shell> ./configure
shell> make
shell> make install

If you want to create a standalone source distribution, identical to the source distribution available for download: 

shell> make distcheck

The above will create the file mysql-proxy-0.7.2.tar.gz (with the corresponding current version) within the current directory.
