So I recently downloaded MySQL 5.5.17, and I’m trying to build it from source on my computer. The problem is, I can’t seem to find the configure.sh script. I’m fairly certain I downloaded the source code version (mysql-5.5.17.tar) from the MySQL website, which can be found by selecting the “Source Code” drop down on the MySQL dowload page here.
Does anyone know if they changed the location of the script? I feel like I’m missing something obvious, but I just can’t seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
In order to build MySQL 5.5, you need to use CMake.
