Hello, A new question has been asked in "Getting, Installing, and Upgrading MariaDB" by 7stud. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/install-problem-on-mac-osx-10102/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- I would love to switch to MariaDB, but over the last year I've tried installing it twice on different versions of Mac OSX and failed. I don't use Homebrew because generally it causes more problems than installing from source. So, I followed the Generic Build instructions: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/generic-build-instructions/ And here were my results trying to install: **MariaDB 10.1.8**\\ on **Mac OSX 10.10.2 **\\ with **Xcode 6.3.2**\\ {{{ $ cmake --version cmake version 3.4.0-rc3 CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake). $ cmake . -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release $ make --version GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
