Want to use Dtrace or ZFS but are unfamiliar with building MySQL on Solaris? Dont panic, its never been easier. Here are the steps that worked for me.
- Install OpenSolaris using the latest development ISO file
- Install developer tools
pfexec pkg install ss-dev
- Download 5.1.28rc source
- Build it
export CC=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/cc export CXX=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/CC export CFLAGS="-xO3" #Your fav compiler flags go here export CXXFLAGS="-xO3" ./configure --with-plugins=innobase,myisam --with-mysqld-libs=-lmtmalloc gmake
Yes, it is that simple. Of course you could just download the binaries and use them too; they work just fine.
Thanks a whole lot.
I wish other developers could also share their experience of how to build their packages. This is what an open source system is all about. Sun Studio rules!

Even easier, the OpenSolaris Web Stack team has preview MySQL 5.1 packages available for testing via IPS from the Web Stack project repository at:
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack/
These are preview builds of the MySQL 5.1 which will go into OpenSolaris in the near future, so it's a good way to get a head start testing/playing with them.

Don't forget you might need a configure file first.
