15.7.2.3. 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 the latest releases and fixes.

A build from the Bazaar repository requires that the following prerequisite components be 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 check out a local copy of the Bazaar repository, use bzr:

shell> bzr branch
        lp:mysql-proxy

The preceding command downloads a complete version of the Bazaar repository for mysql-proxy. The main source files are located within the trunk subdirectory. The configuration scripts must be generated before you can configure and build mysql-proxy. The autogen.sh script generates the required configuration scripts for you:

shell> sh ./autogen.sh

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

shell> ./configureshell> makeshell> make
        install

To create a standalone source distribution, identical to the source distribution available for download, use this command:

shell> make distcheck

The preceding command creates the file mysql-proxy-0.8.2.tar.gz (with the corresponding current version) within the current directory.
