The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

Compiling MariaDB for debugging

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

In 5.5, and later, on Unixes, you need to pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to cmake to compile with debug information.

Here is how you compile with debug on older versions:

Here is an example of how to compile MariaDB for debugging in your home directory with MariaDB 5.2.9 as an example:

cd ~
mkdir mariadb
cd mariadb
tar xvf mariadb-5.2.9.tar.gz
ln -s mariadb-5.2.9 current
cd current
./BUILD/compile-pentium64-debug-max

The last command will produce a debug version of sql/mysqld. If you have a system other than 64 bit Intel/AMD on Linux you can use a different BUILD/...-debug-max file. If this fails, you can try with:

./BUILD/autorun.sh
./configure --with-debug=full -with-extra-charsets=complex \
--with-plugin-aria --with-aria-tmp-tables --without-plugin-innodb_plugin \
--with-plugins=max \
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static  --with-client-ldflags=-all-static 
make
