Compiling MariaDB on Beaglebone Black

To compile MariaDB 10.0.16 on Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy) at Beaglebone Black (based on “generic build instructions“):

• Download the sources of MariaDB from here
• You need install libncurses5-dev (“apt-get install libncurses5-dev”)
• Also install cmake (“apt-get install cmake”)
• Possibly you need a swap file, use this guide
• Decompress the source of MariaDB and run “cmake -DWITHOUT_MROONGA_STORAGE_ENGINE=1” to avoid this problem
• If all it is ok run “make”, when it finish run “make install”
• Prepare coffee and make some other stuff like biking or eat cookies 😛
