1. install Cmake

wget  http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.10.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz cmake-2.8.10.1.tar.gz
cd cmake-2.8.10.1/
./configure
gmake -j3


2. install libaio

gmake -wget  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/bcrl/aio/libaio-0.3.92.tar.gz
tar xvfz libaio-0.3.92.tar.gz
cd libaio-0.3.92/
make prefix=/usr/
make prefix=/usr/ installj3 install

3. install MariaDB 5.5.28
go to https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/5.5.28/ OR

wget https://downloads.mariadb.org/f/mariadb-5.5.28/kvm-tarbake-jaunty-x86/mariadb-5.5.28.tar.gz/from/http:/mariadb.ulak.net.tr/
tar xvf mariadb-5.5.28.tar.gz
cd mariadb-5.5.28/

the build will fail :

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
gmake: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1

REASON for the fail :
Since you use -Wall to report all warning, the two flags -Wall -Wextra are redundant.
However gcc treat them as errors and stop compiling.

FIX :

## make backup of of the Build script
cp -p    BUILD/SETUP.sh BUILD/SETUP.sh.ORIGINAL

# fix the Wextra issues 
root@bubu:[Tue Nov 27 10:19:41]:[/opt/installs/mariadb-5.5.28]$ sed -i 's/-Wextra//' BUILD/SETUP.sh

# Now run the build again, it will not fail, make sure your home directory has enough space for the ~/.ccache 
root@bubu:[Tue Nov 27 10:21:11]:[/opt/installs/mariadb-5.5.28]$ ./BUILD/compile-pentium-max 

Enjoy Slackware 🙂
