Building MariaDB Server from the sources
Fri, 2024-04-05 08:47 — Shinguz
Recently I had to test a new MariaDB feature that was developed at our request (MDEV-33782). To test this feature I had to build the MariaDB server myself from source, which I have not done for a long time. So a new challenge, especially with CMake...
I followed the MariaDB documentation Get, Build and Test Latest MariaDB the Lazy Way to build the server.
On Ubuntu 22.04 it did not work for me, for reasons unknown to me. So I cloned an Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) LXC container and built the MariaDB server in it.
To make the whole thing work, however, the package sources had to be added to the file /etc/apt/sources.list in the container first:
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lunar main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lunar-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lunar-security main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lunar-backports main restricted universe multiverse
Then we proceeded according to the instructions:
shell> apt install build-essential bison shell> apt build-dep mariadb-server
The corresponding branch was cloned:
shell> # git clone https://github.com/andremralves/server.git mariadb-MDEV-33782 shell> # git branch --all shell> git clone --branch MDEV-33782 --single-branch https://github.com/andremralves/server.git mariadb-MDEV-33782 shell> cd mariadb-MDEV-33782 shell> # git checkout 11.5
and then the server was build. This took about 20 minutes on my old machine. CMake still ran into an error, which was solved by installing the corresponding package (MDEV-33815):
shell> apt install libgnutls28-dev shell> cmake . -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release && make -j8
The tests were executed:
shell> cd mysql-test shell> ./mtr rpl.rpl_create_drop_event Logging: ./mtr rpl.rpl_create_drop_event VS config: vardir: /root/mariadb-MDEV-33782/mysql-test/var Checking leftover processes...

And then a binary tarball was build for further testing.
