So, you want to compile Workbench for Linux, on Fedora 9. You need to install the following packages:<\/p>\n
\n
\nautoconf automake libtool libzip-devel libxml2-devel libsigc++20-devel libglade2-devel gtkmm24-devel mesa-libGLU-devel mysql-libs mysql mysql-devel uuid-devel lua-devel glitz-devel glitz-glx-devel pixman-devel pcre-devel libgnome-devel gtk+-devel pango-devel cairo
\n<\/tt>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI feel I’m being too liberal with dependencies, but I’m not about to strip it, I just want to get it working first :)<\/p>\n
You need to have ctemplate<\/tt> and ctemplate-devel<\/tt> installed from updates-testing-newkey<\/tt> (relevant koji build log<\/a>).<\/p>\n
By default, configure.in in Workbench looks for “google-ctemplate”, as opposed to just “ctemplate” as Fedora calls it. You can fix this (easy), or “cheat” – in \/usr\/local\/include you can do sudo ln -s \/usr\/include\/ctemplate google. Take your pick.<\/p>\n
Now for the fun. Fedora includes gcc-4.3. Ubuntu ships gcc-4.2. Let’s just say gcc-4.3 got stricter (its C++ header dependency streamlining<\/a> related). So strict, they have a useful porting to gcc-4.3<\/a> guide. Just FYI, I believe OpenSUSE is also shipping a more modern GCC (I expect the next Ubuntu release in the coming month to do the same).<\/p>\n
So, start getting used to doing the following in files that lead the compiler to fail:<\/p>\n
\n
- #include <cstring><\/li>\n
- #include <algorithm><\/li>\n
- #include <memory><\/li>\n
- #include <climits><\/li>\n
- #include <cstdlib><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This will help get rid of error messages like: error: 'memset' was not declared in this scope<\/tt>. This stuff is already fixed in trunk (or the patch is being applied).<\/p>\n
You will need to pick up cairo<\/tt> from source. Why? Because --enable-glitz<\/tt> isn’t on by default in the RPM spec file (similar with Ubuntu). The glitz backend is apparently still a release preview and doesn’t fully work yet. (I have spoken to Alfredo, and he says he’s just removed the requirement on glitz in trunk).<\/p>\n
Now, once you’ve built cairo with glitz, before running .\/autogen.sh, do: export PKGCONFIG_PATH=\/usr\/local\/lib\/pkgconfig<\/tt>. Then go ahead and make it.<\/p>\n
There are still plenty of warnings that spew by. I have this vague idea that once Workbench for Linux sits on Launchpad, we’ll run a janitorial tree that fixes warnings in the code. A great way to garner community contributions!<\/p>\n
Anyway, a lot of this is either fixed or patches will be applied to trunk. I expect a mysql-workbench-5.1.2-alpha out sooner than you think to eclipse 5.1.1-alpha. Again, superb work Alfredo (and MikeZ and the rest of the GUI team).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
