14.5.2.3. Installing MySQL Proxy from the Subversion repository

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

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

  • Subversion 1.3.0 or higher

  • libtool 1.5 or higher

  • autoconf 2.56 or higher

  • automake 1.9 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

To checkout a local copy of the Subversion repository, use svn: 

$ svn co http://svn.MySQL.com/svnpublic/mysql-proxy/ mysql-proxy

The above command will download a complete version of the Subversion 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: 

$ sh ./autogen.sh

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

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

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

$ make distcheck

The above will create the file mysql-proxy-0.5.0.tar.gz within the current directory.
