Re: Installing MySQL

[Michael Kruckenberg]

Yes. We do something like this to build packages from a local install.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql-4.018
make
make test
make DESTDIR=${HOME}/build/mysql/pkg install

Dear all,

Is it possible to install mysql locally on Sun Solaris 8 as I do not have
root permission ?
If so, what is the expected total size on disk and recommended steps
(./configure, make, make --prefix="/my/home/" install : is this sufficient)
?
Any hints or pointers are much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Regards, Adaikalavan Ramasamy
