Compiling and Installing from Source Code

If you want to compile Percona XtraDB Cluster, you can find the source code on GitHub. Before you begin, make sure that the following packages are installed:

apt yum
Git git git
SCons scons scons
GCC gcc gcc
g++ g++ gcc-c++
OpenSSL openssl openssl
Check check check
CMake cmake cmake
Bison bison bison
Boost libboost-all-dev boost-devel
Asio libasio-dev asio-devel
Async I/O libaio-dev libaio-devel
ncurses libncurses5-dev ncurses-devel
Readline libreadline-dev readline-devel
PAM libpam-dev pam-devel
socat socat socat
curl libcurl-dev libcurl-devel

You will likely have all or most of the packages already installed. If you are not sure, run one of the following commands to install any missing dependencies:

  • For Debian or Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install -y git scons gcc g++ openssl check cmake bison \
libboost-all-dev libasio-dev libaio-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev \
libpam-dev socat libcurl-dev

The following output lists the missing dependencies:

.. libcurl-dev (not found on debian; used libcurl4-gnutls-dev
.. zlib-dev is missing here. on debian worked with zlib1g-dev
  • For Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS:
$ sudo yum install -y git scons gcc gcc-c++ openssl check cmake bison \
boost-devel asio-devel libaio-devel ncurses-devel readline-devel pam-devel \
socat libcurl-devel

To compile Percona XtraDB Cluster from source code:

  1. Clone the Percona XtraDB Cluster repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/percona/percona-xtradb-cluster.git
    
  2. Check out the 5.7 branch:

    $ cd percona-xtradb-cluster-galera
    $ git checkout 5.7
    
  3. Initialize the submodule:

    $ git submodule init wsrep/src && git submodule update wsrep/src
    $ git submodule init percona-xtradb-cluster-galera && git submodule update percona-xtradb-cluster-galera
    $ cd  percona-xtradb-cluster-galera
    $ git submodule init wsrep/src && git submodule update wsrep/src
    & git submodule init && git submodule update
    $ cd ..
    
  4. Run the build script ./build-ps/build-binary.sh. By default, it attempts building into the current directory. Specify the target output directory, such as ./pxc-build:

    $ mkdir ./pxc-build
    $ ./build-ps/build-binary.sh ./pxc-build
    

    When the compilation completes, pxc-build contains a tarball, such as Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-5.7.25-rel28-31.35.1.Linux.x86_64.tar.gz, that you can deploy on your system.

    Note

    The exact version and release numbers may differ.
