True, most of the dependencies are not included in the source tarball, this is normal.
An easy way to get all build dependencies would be to use your package manager. For example, on Fedora it would be something like
sudo dnf builddep mariadb-server
. See corresponding pages in this Knowledge Base.Also, you don't necessarily need all build dependencies. Libxml2 is needed for the CONNECT engine, if you don't want CONNECT — you don't need libxml2.
