- Don't install it on your Mac. Create a virtual Linux box using VirtualBox
- Install a decent distro on there like Debian (I'm assuming Debian 6; Squeeze)
- Make sure MySQL 5.1 is installed
Assuming you've done that you will want to install the following packages
apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 libmysqld-dev libssl-dev g++ libmysqlclient-dev gcc4.1 libdata-compare-perl liblist-moreutils-perl
You will be asked for the root user password here. Keep it blank for the moment if you are using this guide as a way of evaluating q4m. If not then please set it with sensible password.
Then it's off to get the MySQL source (I've used 5.1.49 here so change according the version of MySQL you had installed) and q4m (0.9.5). Then we'll un-tar the archives
cd $HOME
wget http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.1/mysql-5.1.49.tar.gz
wget http://q4m.kazuhooku.com/dist/q4m-0.9.5.tar.gz
tar zxvf mysql-5.1.49.tar.gz
tar zxvf q4m-0.9.5-tar.gz
cd q4m-0.9.5
Once you're in this situation you are so nearly there :). You'll need to configure and then make like so
./configure --with-mysql="$HOME/mysql-5.1.49" --prefix="$HOME/mysql-5.1.49" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql"
make
Assuming everything worked you will want to install the plugin to MySQL, run some scripts and then some tests. Doing this as root will make things work.
su
cp src/.libs/libqueue_engine.so /usr/lib/plugin/.
cp support-files/q4m-forward /usr/bin/.
mysql --user=root < support_files/install.sql
services mysql restart
DBI='dbi:mysql:database=test;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306' DBI_USER='root' DBI_PASSWORD='' ./run_tests.pl
Assuming everything is good you should see a lot of messages flying up the screen and a 100% pass rate. Congratulations on install q4m. Go have a coffee; you deserve it.
