Hi All,

I was trying to build percona-server from source ([GitHub - percona/percona-server: Percona Server](https://github.com/percona/percona-server)), following the guideline in [Compile Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 from source - Percona Server for MySQL](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/compile-percona-server.html#install-percona-server-for-mysql-from-the-git-source-tree).

I ran the following steps:

$ git clone [GitHub - percona/percona-server: Percona Server](https://github.com/percona/percona-server.git)  
$ 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.
