Buiding Instructions for MySQL Administrator on MacOS X

---

Requirements

- from fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net)

• pkgconfig
• glib-2.2.x
• libxml-2.6.x
• pcre - MySQL client libs (5.x)
  • fetch sources for mysql-gui-common and mysql-administrator
  • Build mysql-gui-common
• open source/mac/MySQLGUICommon.xcode
• set the build output directory to $(HOME)/guibuild, if its not already set.

  Select the project icon in the Groups & Files sidebar, and press cmd-i. Then select Place Build Products In: Separate Location

• set target to mysqlx and build
• set target to MySQLToolsCommon and build
• this will create MySQLToolsCommon.framework
  • Build mysql-administrator
• open "source/mac/MySQL Administrator.xcode"
• set the build output directory to $(HOME)/guibuild, if its not already set
• set target to administratorLibrary and build
• set target to mahelper and build
• set target to MySQL Administrator and build
  • this will create MySQL Administrator.app

Now you can create a Frameworks directory inside MySQL Administrator and move MySQLToolsCommon.framework in it, so you don't need to install the framework separtely.

To build the PreferencePane for the SystemPreferences app:

open source/mac/PreferencePane/MySQLStartup.app and look at the README file in the project.
