Percona on Mac OSX
Two birds with one stone
Today I finally decided to give the MySQL-based fork Percona a try. Percona is going to be installed on my MacBook….soon™
I’ve been delving into MySQL 5.5 source code recently as hobby work, but have also been reading up on Percona’s performance enhancements for work. So I was going to try to kill two birds with one stone and work on Percona source code for my hobby.
However:

I am not giving up hope though; I will be striving to get Percona installed on my MacBook Pro running Mac OSX Lion. I will be back with the steps to install from bazaar branch to working server.
* I am in no way trying to belittle Percona’s offering; I want to work on getting MacOSX supported, thereby improving their product
Install MacPorts
sudo port cmake
Then download the latest tar, and compile it with cmake following the instructions on their website.
It works
Enjoy!
I meant:
sudo port install cmake
Thanks for the comment Salvor. Didn’t try using macport’s version of CMAKE, but compiling cmake from source and then following the instructions on the website for Percona Server doesn’t work for me. Can you shed any light on how macport compiles cmake to make it work as expected? I use HomeBrew so don’t want two package handlers.
