No, MYSQL does not understand INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR. This is MariaDB specific option, and it is solely used to build RPMs. If it is used, some files are copied some files into the directory specified as INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR (this should not come as surprise?) . Since CMake based "make install" will ever make backup copies of existing files, and just overwrite existing files, and yes, it will overwrite your my.cnf However, If you just wish to specify additional directory to look for my.cnf, but not to create my.cnf during installation - I guess this is what you're after- then you should use DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR instead. It will work with MySQL and with MariaDB and this is what lands in config.h (as seen in config.h.cmake template in the root source directory). No files will be installed if you set only this option. > The INSTALL process *destructively* overwrites the existing my.cnf > > If that's intended, how are we to exec a mariadb install without > overwriting our config files/dirs? Yes, intended. INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR will install some files, my.cnf among them. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
