MacPorts, Mavericks & MySQL 5.6 with Memcached

If you’ve upgraded to Mavericks you’ve probably realized that MacPorts MySQL 5.6 would not build due to some issues with MySQL itself.

That issue has now been fixed with MySQL version 5.6.15 and this changeset which is now live in the port index. Simply install like usual:

sudo port install mysql56-server

One thing the portfile doesn’t contain is the flag to enable the new 5.6 InnoDB Memcached Plugin. If you’d like to enable it, you’ll need to create a local portfile with the following changes:
# change name mysql56 # to name mysql56-custom
# change -DWITH_SSL:STRING=bundled # to -DWITH_SSL:STRING=bundled \ -DWITH_INNODB_MEMCACHED=ON

If you’ve never worked with local portfiles before, here’s a quick tutorial…

	# the following assumes a typical MacPorts install to /opt/local

	# create a directory to hold local ports
	sudo mkdir /opt/custom

	# edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and add the following line before rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar
	# file:///opt/custom

	# create the directories to hold the port file
	sudo mkdir -p /opt/custom/databases/mysql56/files/

	# grab the original portfile and save it to /opt/custom/databases/mysql56/Portfile
	# https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/databases/mysql56/Portfile

	# also grab the 5 supporting files and save them in /opt/custom/databases/mysql56/files/
	# https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/databases/mysql56/files

	# update the Portfile with the following changes:

	# Line 6:
	# OLD: name mysql56
	# NEW: name mysql56-custom

	# Line 97:
	# OLD: -DWITH_SSL:STRING=bundled
	# NEW: -DWITH_SSL:STRING=bundled \
	# -DWITH_INNODB_MEMCACHED=ON

	# index the new port
	cd /opt/custom
	sudo portindex

	# verify the port was added
	port search mysql56-custom

	# you should see:
	# mysql56-custom @5.6.15 (databases)
	# mysql56-custom-server @5.6.15

	# install
	sudo port install mysql56-custom-server
