Build latest xtrabackup on Mac OS X

[Livid]

Since Percona doesn't provide recent builds of xtrabackup for OS X, I decided to try to build my own. It turned out to be pretty easy once you have all the tools needed.

Things you will need:

Xcode, Command Line Tools, Homebrew

Steps:

1. brew install libgcrypt , you may need to `ln -s 1.13 1.12` under /usr/local/Cellar/libgpg-error if you saw libgpg-error related error during build.

2. Get latest source code of xtrabackup from:

http://www.percona.com/downloads/XtraBackup/LATEST/source/

3. tar zxvf percona-xtrabackup-2.1.9.tar.gz and run:

AUTO_DOWNLOAD="yes" ./utils/build.sh innodb55

If you need other support than InnoDB 5.5, please look into docs here:

http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.1/installation/compiling_xtrabackup.html

4. Copy innobackupex / xtrabackup_55 / xbstream from ./ and ./src/ to /usr/local/bin/

You can download my compiled binaries here:

@julyclyde V站现在跑在一台垃圾桶里。

@julyclyde 有的时候，为了试验，把 OS X 上的数据库备份后导入 Vagrant 也会需要这个工具。

@Livid 为何不直接复制数据
time | cp /path/to/mysql/data/file

@lm902 你那样得关闭数据库服务才能安全复制
