[yocto] MySQL recipe for yocto

[Fred Ollinger]

I'd start with the mysql recipe and update the source reference and try to build it.


If this fails, you might need to change some other things.


Here's a howto on writing a recipe:

Subject: [yocto] MySQL recipe for yocto

Hi all,
this is my 1'st post to this list so I hope I'm doing it right :)

I need to add MySQL for my yocto build.
Looking online for a recipe - i found that there is one for MySQL under:
/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/mysql/..
The thing is that instead of MySQL, the recipe reffers to MariaDB which is a kind of a drop-in replacemnet and since I need to have the "real" MySQL in my build - I cannot use it.
looking into history log of mysql in the meta-openembedded git, it can be seen the the switch between MySQL and MariaDB was made at 2013 and from then onwards it's MariaDB.

http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/meta-oe/recipes-support/mysql?id=72e23c12296fbc77193898c38426add58d0c2d71

Now to the question, do you know how can I add the "real" MySQL to my build ?
looking before 2013 at the meta-openembedded git i can find a recipe for MySQL which seems to support a "real" MySQL however, it's very old version (5.1) and I'm not sure how and if I can update it to one of the latest (e.g. MySQL 5.6).

Will appriciate any feedback on this.
Thanks in advance,
Motico
