== CentOS Build Requirements
* MariaDB sources
* bzr. The bzr version of CentOS is too old to use it with MariaDB. You have to [[http://bazaar-vcs.org/SourceDownloads|install Bazaar from source]].
* The following rpm packages:
** gperf
** rpm-devel
** rpm-build
** rpmdevtools
** libdbi
== Building MariaDB 5.3 and below
To build MariaDB of a version below 5.5 you need additionally
* Packaging scripts
* For a fully automated build — a sudo without password. This is NOT recommended on production systems! You have been warned!
** <<code>>visudo<</code>>
** and uncomment the line <<code lang=sh>>%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL<</code>>
** <<code lang=sh>>usermod -a -G wheel {your_system_username}<</code>>
=== .rpm Build Steps
First [[Linux Build Environment Setup|setup your build environment]].
Then create packages:
<<code lang=sh>>
cd $PACKAGING_WORK
bakery/preheat.sh
cd bakery_{number}
bakery/tarbake51.sh last:1 $MARIA_WORK
bakery/autobake51-centos.sh mariadb-{version_num}-maria-beta-ourdelta{number}.tar.gz
<</code>>
=== Update your Repositories
On subsequent packaging builds, you just update your repositories and run the packaging scripts:
<<code lang=sh>>
rm -rf $MARIA_WORK
rm -rf $PACKAGING_WORK
cd $MARIA_MASTER
$BZR pull
$BZR branch $MARIA_MASTER $MARIA_WORK
cd $PACKAGING_MASTER
$BZR pull
$BZR branch $PACKAGING_MASTER $PACKAGING_WORK
<</code>>
Now you can create packages again.
== Building MariaDB 5.5 and above
To build MariaDB of a version 5.5 and about you need to install cmake. If you
want to build .rpm packages, you need at least cmake 2.8.7. Otherwise cmake
2.6 will do.
Note that you will not need any packaging scripts and the build process will
never need root access.
=== .rpm Build Steps
First [[Linux Build Environment Setup|setup your build environment]]. Ignore
the part about packaging scripts.
If you want to build .rpm's:
<<code lang=sh>>
cmake -DRPM=centos .
make package
<</code>>
Instead of "centos" you may want to specify "centos5" or "centos6". This
affects the name of the generated rpm packages. You may also specify any other
cmake arguments to configure the binaries any way you want. For example, to
build our releases on CentOS 5 we use
<<code lang=sh>>
cmake . -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release -DRPM=centos5
make package
<</code>>
