I am trying to compile and install mysql50 at my freebsd61 web server from source. I can install it from the ports easily and have done twice. (location: /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server/) But I want to change the location of installation for "chroot" reason and wanna configure with some paraments before compilation too. So, I have tried A LOT to find the source distribution of mysql-50 for freebsd6x from dev.mysql.com website or other mirros but with NO luck. They only have the binary distribution of mysql50 for FreeBSD 6x. My question is that how can I find the location of the site/ftp where from FreeBSD61 fetches? I have tried to go through the "Makefile". But since I am a novice, I cannot understand a bit what it says? a snipt from Makefile: PORTNAME?= mysql PORTVERSION= 5.0.2 PORTREVISION?= 0 CATEGORIES= databases MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_MYSQL} MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= MySQL-5.0 PKGNAMESUFFIX?= -server DISTNAME= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}-alpha MAINTAINER= ale@FreeBSD.org COMMENT?= Multithreaded SQL database (server) WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}-alpha SLAVEDIRS= databases/mysql50-client PKGINSTALL?= ${WRKDIR}/pkg-install DB_DIR?= /var/db/mysql USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15 USE_REINPLACE= yes USE_RC_SUBR= yes -- Thanks!
