MySQL 5.6源码编译碰到的一个问题

MySQL 5.6使用CMake作为编译配置工具，笔者在CentOS 6.5上进行MySQL 5.6.21 Community Server源码编辑时，碰到了一个初级问题，现在重新回顾一下整个过程。

首先，笔者使用以下命令执行编译配置。

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/u01/mysql

因为gcc和gcc-c++编辑器没有安装，直接报错。

-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error: your C compiler: "CMAKE_C_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

接着，安装gcc和gcc-c++编辑器。

yum install gcc gcc-c++

接着，报另外一个错误。

-- Running cmake version 2.8.12.2
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.4.7
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

摸不到头脑，上网查了一下，说源码文件删除之后重新解压可以解决这个问题。这么做之后，CMake的运行日志比之前长，报错信息也不同了。

-- Could NOT find Curses (missing:  CURSES_LIBRARY CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH) 
CMake Error at cmake/readline.cmake:85 (MESSAGE):
  Curses library not found.  Please install appropriate package,

看到是缺少另外一个软件包。

yum install ncurses-devel

再次运行CMake，报错信息还是依旧。这时，发现有报错信息中还有以下信息。

remove CMakeCache.txt and rerun cmake.On Debian/Ubuntu, package name is libncurses5-dev, on Redhat and derivates it is ncurses-devel.

按照指示，删除CMakeCache.txt之后，重新CMake即可成功。删除CMakeCache.txt即告诉CMake重新进行编译配置，其实，前面删除源码也不是必须的，只要删除CMakeCache.txt即可。
