Compiling and Installing Percona Playback from Source Code
The source code is available from the Launchpad project here. The easiest way to get the code is with bzr branch of the desired release, such as the following:
bzr branch lp:percona-playback
You should then have a directory named after the release you branched, such as percona-playback.
Compiling on Linux
Prerequisites
The following packages and tools must be installed to compile Percona XtraBackup from source. These might vary from system to system.
In Debian-based distributions, you need to:
# apt-get install debhelper libcloog-ppl0 autoconf automake libtool \
gettext intltool libdrizzle-dev libpcap-dev libtbb-dev libmysqlclient-dev \
libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev pkg-config
In RPM-based distributions, you need to:
# yum install autoconf automake libtool libdrizzle-devel gettext-devel \
libpcap-devel tbb-devel mysql mysql-devel intltool \
boost-program-options-devel boost-thread-devel pkgconfig
Package libmysqlclient-dev is not strictly needed for compiling, but if you don’t have it, you don’t get to do the play back part.
Building
If you are building from BZR, you will need to run ./config/autorun.sh first.
There are several tests included, these use a dummy database client plugin to mainly test that parsing of the logs is correct.
After that you can install the percona-playback with:
In some cases you’ll still need to manually link the libraries.
