    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to compile MySQL from source on Mac OS X 10.5. I downloaded what I believe to be the correct source code from the "Source Code" section on <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MySQL's download page</a>. The label on it reads "Generic Linux (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive"; the file's available <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.5/mysql-5.5.9.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.mirrors.hoobly.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>This question is really similar to another question asked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910356/bash-configure-no-such-file-or-directory-mysql-install-on-mac-os-x-10-6">here</a>, but that question is outdated and hasn't helped me. Its answer proposes that I've "downloaded the binary version, not the source." If I don't have the right download, can someone point me in the right direction?</p> <p>When I unarchive the tar.gz file, there is no file named <code>configure</code>. Here's what the directory looks like:</p> <pre><code>drwxrwxrwx@ 63 xxxx xxxx 2142 Jan 19 15:37 BUILD -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 8479 Jan 19 15:37 BUILD-CMAKE -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 12080 Jan 19 15:37 CMakeLists.txt -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 17987 Jan 19 15:37 COPYING drwxrwxrwx@ 9 xxxx xxxx 306 Jan 19 15:37 Docs -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 342250 Jan 19 15:37 INSTALL-SOURCE -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 324 Jan 19 15:37 INSTALL-WIN-SOURCE -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 113534 Jan 19 15:37 README -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 87 Jan 19 15:37 VERSION drwxrwxrwx@ 22 xxxx xxxx 748 Jan 19 15:37 client drwxrwxrwx@ 33 xxxx xxxx 1122 Jan 19 15:37 cmake drwxrwxrwx@ 4 xxxx xxxx 136 Jan 19 15:37 cmd-line-utils -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 18312 Jan 19 15:37 config.h.cmake -rw-rw-rw-@ 1 xxxx xxxx 33945 Jan 19 15:37 configure.cmake drwxrwxrwx@ 18 xxxx xxxx 612 Jan 19 15:37 dbug drwxrwxrwx@ 13 xxxx xxxx 442 Jan 19 15:37 extra drwxrwxrwx@ 72 xxxx xxxx 2448 Jan 19 15:37 include drwxrwxrwx@ 10 xxxx xxxx 340 Jan 19 15:37 libmysql drwxrwxrwx@ 12 xxxx xxxx 408 Jan 19 15:37 libmysqld drwxrwxrwx@ 8 xxxx xxxx 272 Jan 19 15:37 libservices drwxrwxrwx@ 50 xxxx xxxx 1700 Jan 19 15:37 man drwxrwxrwx@ 19 xxxx xxxx 646 Jan 19 15:37 mysql-test drwxrwxrwx@ 123 xxxx xxxx 4182 Jan 19 15:37 mysys drwxrwxrwx@ 3 xxxx xxxx 102 Jan 19 15:37 packaging drwxrwxrwx@ 7 xxxx xxxx 238 Jan 19 15:37 plugin drwxrwxrwx@ 30 xxxx xxxx 1020 Jan 19 15:37 regex drwxrwxrwx@ 31 xxxx xxxx 1054 Jan 19 15:37 scripts drwxrwxrwx@ 303 xxxx xxxx 10302 Jan 19 15:37 sql drwxrwxrwx@ 35 xxxx xxxx 1190 Jan 19 15:37 sql-bench drwxrwxrwx@ 7 xxxx xxxx 238 Jan 19 15:37 sql-common drwxrwxrwx@ 13 xxxx xxxx 442 Jan 19 15:37 storage drwxrwxrwx@ 59 xxxx xxxx 2006 Jan 19 15:37 strings drwxrwxrwx@ 27 xxxx xxxx 918 Jan 19 15:37 support-files drwxrwxrwx@ 37 xxxx xxxx 1258 Jan 19 15:37 tests drwxrwxrwx@ 8 xxxx xxxx 272 Jan 19 15:37 unittest drwxrwxrwx@ 15 xxxx xxxx 510 Jan 19 15:37 vio drwxrwxrwx@ 3 xxxx xxxx 102 Jan 19 15:37 win drwxrwxrwx@ 32 xxxx xxxx 1088 Jan 19 15:37 zlib </code></pre> <p><code>find . -name 'configure'</code> returns nothing.</p> <p>Am I missing something?</p>
