This document here details on how you can do a checkout and build the MySQL codebase from the Bazaar repository.
Some additional points for OpenSolaris 2008.11 :
When you execute
$ BUILD/autorun.sh, you might get errors complaining of 'aclocal' and 'automake' not found:
BUILD/autorun.sh[23]: aclocal: not found [No such file or directory]
Can't execute aclocalChecking for the autotools, I found that 'aclocal' and 'automake' was installed in /usr/bin, as the following binaries:
/usr/bin/aclocal-1.10: executable /usr/perl5/bin/perl script
/usr/bin/aclocal-1.9: executable /usr/perl5/bin/perl script
To get around the errors, just create a symbolic link to any of the binaries with the name 'aclocal' in /usr/bin:
$ pfexec ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10 /usr/bin/aclocal
Now, it should work fine.
