[ask] problem when compiling mariadb 10.0.17

hi guys,
so I'm trying to compile mariadb 10.0.17 on my machine. here are the resources :

my machine, using slackware 14.1 64bit with multilib alien current 4.9.2
mariadb 10.0.17 source, downloaded from the official site
mariadb slackbuilds from https://github.com/PhantomX/slackbui...master/mariadb

while compiling, it stop with the following messages :

Code:

--- cut

-- Looking for vidattr in /usr/lib64/libcurses.so - found

-- Performing Test NEW_READLINE_INTERFACE

-- Performing Test NEW_READLINE_INTERFACE - Success

-- Performing Test READLINE_V5

-- Performing Test READLINE_V5 - Success

-- Performing Test HAVE_HIST_ENTRY

-- Performing Test HAVE_HIST_ENTRY - Failed

-- Looking for pcre_stack_guard in pcre

-- Looking for pcre_stack_guard in pcre - not found

CMake Error at cmake/pcre.cmake:10 (MESSAGE):

  system pcre is not found or unusable

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  CMakeLists.txt:363 (CHECK_PCRE)





-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

See also "/tmp/mariadb-10.0.17/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

See also "/tmp/mariadb-10.0.17/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

--- cut

then I check if pcre is installed :

Code:

bash-4.2# ls /var/log/packages/|grep pcre

pcre-8.33-x86_64-1

does anyone ever facing the same problem? how to solve it? please share your experience,

thank you :)

This is the version in Slackware-current at time of writing.

I just tried to re-build it in Slackware 14.1 with the genuine Slackbuild from Slackware-current, that failed with another error.

If you really need that version, running it in Slackware-current would be the simplest thing to do, I think.

PS But if you have no really compelling reason to use that version and want to save you some hassle (running -current is not so easy for a Slackware newcomer), just use mariadb-5.5.40-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz which is the last version shipped in /patches for Slackware64-14.1, until the next Slackware version is officially released. In any case why use an alien Slackbuild when there is a genuine one?

You are mixing between -stable and -current?

Install pcre 8.35 or newer (8.37 is the most recent) and you should be OK.

--mancha

oh just found the answer, I just upgrade pcre to version 8.36 and works.

yes it works, thank you.

It's not really recommended to mix between -stable and -current since packages in -current are built against different set of libraries compared to -stable.

Either stay at -stable and totally migrate to -current OR build your own packages using SlackBuild script in -current. This is the recommended way if you don't want to migrate.
