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…
