Thread: Howto compile MySQL workbench

first, need build dependencies:

code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool libzip-dev libxml2-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libglade2-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libmysqlclient16-dev uuid-dev liblua5.1-dev libpcre3-dev g++ libgnome2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libcairo2-dev sqlite3-dev python-dev libboost-dev libctemplate-dev

then run:

code:

./autogen.sh

if fails, fix errors, , re-run ./configure

if finished successfully, can start compiling mysql-workbench:

code:

make install destdir=/home/<username>/mysql-workbench

you can use parameter -jx, improves build-speed making use of several build-threads (x number of used parallel threads)


then, inside supplied output directory, change /usr/local/bin startup mysql workbench this:

code:

./mysql_workbench

note if error message,

stricmp not found / not defined

you have replace stricmp strcasecmp.

note if didn't on purpose compile old version of mysql-workbench, can stop now. take source of alpha release, because stable 1 doesn't yet give opportunity database.



go to:
mysql-workbench-gpl-5.1.19-src/library/grt/src/diff/grtdiff.cpp
, replace stricmp strcasecmp. there 1 occurence.
