Fail when building percona-server 8.0.28 from source

[Istria]

Hi All,

I was trying to build percona-server from source (GitHub - percona/percona-server: Percona Server), following the guideline in Compile Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 from source - Percona Server for MySQL.

I ran the following steps:

$ git clone GitHub - percona/percona-server: Percona Server
$ cd percona-server
$ git checkout release-8.0.28-20
$ git submodule update --init
$ cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release -DFEATURE_SET=community -DFORCE_INSOURCE_BUILD=1 -DWITH_BOOST=…/ -DWITH_AUTHENTICATION_LDAP=OFF
$ make -j32
$ sudo make install

After the above steps, the process can finish, though with some warnings. However, when I type ‘service mysqld status’, the console shows:

First of all, I am wondering if the steps and cmake parameters are fine (specifically, I disable LDAP due to compilation errors). I am also wondering what I should do next to fix the problems (no mysqld.service) and run MySQL using MyRocks engine properly.

Here are some errors that I think are a bit strange.

I am new in percona and really appreciate if there could be any help, thanks in advance!

Hello @Istria,
‘make install’ does not install the systemd unit file. You need to install that yourself. Look inside scripts/ folder.

Why are you compiling source? We offer pre-compiled packages for major OS, and also supply pre-compiled generic linux binaries.

Hi @matthewb!

Thanks for your reply. May I introduce my overall goal here? I would like to replace the RocksDB engine in percona MyRocks with my own modified RocksDB. So I compiled from the source.

Could you suggest me the better way to achieve my goal? And how to test the performance of percona then (e.g., sysbench or linkbench)?

Since MyRocks is a plugin to MySQL, you should only need to compile the MyRocks plugin and then you can load it into an existing MySQL binary.
