How to build MQSQL 5.7 on Yocto

msingh1920 — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 07:39:35 GMT

Hi,

I am having iMX8M Miini EVK and I am trying to build Yocto for it.

I am following all the steps given in user guide -

                                                   IMXLXYOCTOUG
                                                   Rev. L4.19.35_1.1.0, 11/2019
                                                   i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide

and I am able to build - core-image-minimal yocto image for iMX8M Mini.

I even followed the steps given in community - Task #10 - How to create a custom layer and I am able to create a sample hello world layer in my yocto build.

But Now I want to add MySQL 5.7 in my yocto build but I am not sure how can I do that.

Please help me or suggest me what all changes or steps I need to do to add MySQL in my Yocto Build for iMX8M Mini.

Thanks,

Maneesh

Hello,

Have you tried adding the following recipe in your local.conf

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mysql-python"

Best regards,

Diego.

Hi @Diego Adrian Cuevas,

Thanks for your reply.

if I add below lines in conf/local.conf file =>

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mysql-python"

And After that I run below command then it start building MySQL.

bitbake mysql5

But what I found that under:
sources/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/mysql/..

there is MySQl folder but instead of MySQL, the recipe refers to MariaDB which is
a kind of a drop-in replacement

But I need to use the "real" MySQL in my yocto build

And 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 on-wards it's MariaDB. And last supported MySQL version was 5.1

So can you suggest me what changes or steps I need to do to build and update latest MySQL such as - MySQL 5.6

Thanks,

Maneesh

Hello,

Unfortunately, In our BSP we only provide that recipe. You could search on the internet and see if you could find the recipe for MySQL 5.6. However, I could not find it I only have found the MariaDB recipe.

Best regards,

Diego.
