MySQL 5.4 Support for Mac OS X 10.6.x ?

Hello,

I have a Mac Book Pro (64 bits x86) running with Snow Leopard aka Mac OS X
10.6.2, I have read the here under pages and my conclusion is that MySQL
currently does not support Mac OS X 10.6.x, so my question is: is there any
plan in the roadmap to support it ? and if so what would be the ETA for GA
and to get beta versions (the mysql-5.4.3-beta is supported only on
osx10.5-x86_64) ?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

As I did not get any reply, I started to install the mysql-5.4.3-beta
osx10.5-x86_64 build on My Snow Leopard 10.6.2 64 bits , and I wanted to
share my user experience with you :)

the installation went well (logged as a normal user) though there were not
any mysql user created on my OS, all files installed at
/usr/local/mysql-5.4.3-beta-osx10.5-x86_64/
and a link /usr/local/mysql has been created pointing to
/usr/local/mysql-5.4.3-beta-osx10.5-x86_64/

I then tried to create environment variables following the here under docs
:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/qa/qa2001/qa1255.html

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html

ttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/setting-environment-va riables.html

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-macosx-excerpt/5.4/en/mac-os- x-installation.html


but it did not work though I created a file
/Users/MyUserName/.MacOSX/environment.plist


http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">


MYSQL_TCP_PORT
3306
PATH
${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin



so I finally created a file e /Users/MyUserName/.bash_profile and this
worked for me :

MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
export MYSQL_TCP_PORT
export PATH

I then ran
.. .bash_profile
ls -al /usr/local/mysql/data/ and noticed the files are owned by a user
_mysql (group wheel) which I do not know (and does not exist I guess) :

I then successfully ran the here under command though I have not performed
yet the UNIX Post install
steps:
mysql -u root mysql

I finnaly downloaded the MySQL Workbench 5.2.10 beta
(mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.10-osx10.5-i686.dmg ) for Mac OS X 10.5 (x86,
32-bit) though I run mac Os X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (x86, 64 bits) , I then
saw the wizard as described at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-installing-mac.html
and can succefully run the Workbench GUI.

I created then a new instance with a "Mac OS X (MySQL Package)" System
Profile and all looked fine except the configuration file path set by
default to /etc/my.cnf , which does not exist .... I only found a *.cnf
file at
/usr/local/mysql-5.4.3-beta-osx10.5-x86_64//mysql-test/suite /ndb/my.cnf

To be followed ... and congratulations to the MySQL Team for the quality of
this 5.4 beta version which looks yet great :)

Regards,

Steve
