Building MariaDB From Source Using musl-based GNU/Linux

Guide for compiling MariaDB on Alpine Linux or other musl-based systems, noting limitations like TokuDB support.

Instructions on compiling MariaDB on musl-based operating systems (Alpine)

The instructions on this page will help you compile MariaDB from source. Links to more complete instructions for specific platforms can be found on the source page.

• First, get a copy of the MariaDB source.

• Next, prepare your system to be able to compile the source.

Using cmake

MariaDB 10.1 and above is compiled using cmake. You can configure your build simply by running cmake using special option, i.e.

cmake . -DWITHOUT_TOKUDB=1

To build and install MariaDB after running cmake use

make
sudo make install

Note that building with MariaDB this way will disable tokuDB, till tokuDB becomes fully supported on musl.
