Compiling&DebuggingMariaDB(andMySQL)inEclipse_MySQL

Introduction:

To run MariaDB from Eclipse we will actually create and install the tar.gz package resulting from compilation(SeePart 2) in a separate directory, this will allow us to have MariaDB cleanly installed on a separate location and so it will be also easily possible to run it independently from Eclipse.

In these Blog posts series we assume:

yoda	as developer user/home/yoda (or ~)	 	as home directory of developer(yoda) usermariadb-10.0.11 	as sources version (and general prefix)MariaDB10-test1 	as Eclipse project name/home/yoda/playground 	as root working directory for sources, project, and installation/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11	as sources directory/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-eclipse	as project/working directory/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_	as binary deployement directory

Replace accordingly the strings from this example to reflect your choices.

Section 3: "Install MariaDB in Eclipse"

3.1 CREATING THE PACKAGE

We have to ways to create the .tar.gz package

* In command line
* In Eclipse

Command line:

$ cd ~/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-eclipse
$ make package


At the end of the execution the package will be created and it should be namedmariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_.tar.gz(i686 instead of x86_ on 32 bit Linux)

Eclipse:

Right Click on the project name(MariaDB10-test1) and choose:Make Target-->Create,
in the popup windowAdda new target just inserting the name in the first field:package, click onOk.
Now Right Click again on the project name and choose:Make Target-->Build, choosepackagefrom the list and clickBuild.

Check on Eclipse Log Console that the package is being created.

At this point, either method chosen, you should have the packagemariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_.tar.gzin the project directory (mariadb-10.0.11-eclipse).

3.2 INSTALL THE PACKAGE

We need at this point to run some commands from the shell:

If all is good now you have a working MariaDB installation in~/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_

Section 4: "Running MariaDB in Eclipse"

4.1 Create a 'Run configuration' and Run

Assuming the full path to binaries is:/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_.

Right Click on the project (or open theRunmenu) and click onRun As-->Run configurations...,
SelectC/C++ Application, right click and chooseNew.

Compile only two parameters in the respective tabs,MainandArguments

Main(tab):
ClickBrowseand select/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_/bin/mysqld

Arguments(tab):
--basedir=/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_ --datadir=/home/yoda/playground/mariadb-10.0.11-linux-x86_/data --plugin-dir=/home/eclipse/10011/lib/plugin --user=yoda --log-error=error.log --pid-file=mysql.pid --socket=10011.sock --port=10011

Click onApplyand then you can click onRun, as usual check the progress in the Eclipse log Console,
