Drizzle is a community-driven open source project that is forked from the 

popular MySQL database.  

The Drizzle team has removed non-essential code, re-factored the remaining code 

and modernized the code base moving to C++.

Compiling from source

---------------------

### Installing library dependencies:

# The easiest and recommended way is to use your package manager to install

# all build dependencies for the drizzle package. This will always

# install an up to date list of dependencies.

# If drizzle is not yet included in your distribution, then please configure

# your package manager to use these Drizzle repositories:

#  DEB: http://docs.drizzle.org/installing/ubuntu.html

#  RPM: http://docs.drizzle.org/installing/redhat.html

# Then start the build process with executing

sudo apt-get build-dep drizzle

# or

yum-builddep drizzle

### Compiling:

# If you got the source from bzr, run:

./config/autorun.sh

# The following steps are the same regardless of where you got the source

./configure --prefix=${HOME}/builds/drizzle && 

make &&

make test ||

echo "FAIL $?"

More information on compiling can be found at:

http://docs.drizzle.org/installing/from_source.html

### Running Drizzle:

# be sure you configured with a prefix before running make install

make install

cd ${HOME}/builds/drizzle

./sbin/drizzled --no-defaults --mysql-protocol.port=3306 \

     --basedir=$PWD --datadir=$PWD/var \

     >> $PWD/var/drizzle.err 2>&1 &
