Sometimes you feel romantic and want to get something else than phpMyAdmin to communicate to MySQL.
Download mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.1-1fc10.src.rpm from one of the mirrors picked up here:
Install tools and dependencies (at least I was required to do that, your list may be different):
sudo yum -y install gcc autoconf rpmdevtools sudo yum -y install pcre-devel lua-devel uuid-devel
Compile (prepare for a quite long run):
sudo rpmbuild --rebuild mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.1-1fc10.src.rpm
The output will result in a file named mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.1-1%{targos}.x86_64.rpm (am I doing anything wrong?)
Install:
mv /home/USERNAME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.1-1%{targos}.x86_64.rpm mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.1-1.fc10.x86_64.rpm ./ sudo yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.1-1.fc10.x86_64.rpm
Fix wrong paths (ugly way):
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/mysql-workbench /usr/lib/mysql-workbench
Run:
mysql-workbench &
It works, see the below:
