In the worst case possible scenario (no bzr, in-source build),
make dist produced a package that compiled ok with autotools
but failed to package because extra make_binary_distribution was
found in source package and was not built. make_binary_distribution
contained paths of the build machine.
Fix: exclude some scripts that are produced in cmake build.
Note that there is no good general fix for it in this specific scenario.
it is advisable to build source packages out of source or in bzr repo.
using cmake option INSTALL_LAYOUT=STANDALONE would produce the layout as in
tar.gz or zip packages.
INSTALL_LAYOUT=UNIX will produce unixish install layout (with mysqld being in sbin subdirectory , libs in lib/mysql etc). This layout is used for RPM packages.
Subtle differences in both packages unfortunately lead to the need to recompile MySQL to use with other package type - as otherwise for example default plugins or data directories would be wrong set.
There are numerous other variables that allow fine-tuning packaging layout. (INSTALL_BINDIR, INSTALL_LIBDIR , INSTALL_PLUGINDIR etc).
This options are different from autotools as they do not expect full paths to directories, but only subdirectory of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
There are 2 special options that expect full directory paths
- MYSQL_DATADIR that defines default MYSQL data directory (autotools equivalent
is --localstatedir)
- SYSCONFDIR can be added to search my.cnf search path (autotools equivalent is --sysconfdir)
