I tried to install MySQL 5.7 from source file and upgrading previous MySQL version to the lastest 5.7.22.

following command record is shared as a note.

not many explanations. If having any questions, you can make a comment and I will reply when I see it.

## REFERENCE

## install tools
yum install make gcc-c++ cmake bison-devel ncurses-devel

## create user and dir
id mysql
mkdir /usr/local/mysql
mkdir -p /data/mydb

chown -R mysql.mysql /usr/local/mysql
chown -R mysql.mysql /data/mydb

## unzip source package
cd /home/maxwellyang/Desktop/mysql-dev/source_code
tar -zxvf mysql-5.7
 
.22.tar.gz

## make clean
cd mysql-5.7.22
make clean

## run cmake
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/mysql \ # install dir
-DMYSQL_DATADIR=/data/mydb \ # data dir
-DSYSCONFDIR=/etc \ # my.cnf dir
-DEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8mb4 \ 
-DDEFAULT_COLLATION=utf8mb4_general_ci -DENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE=1 -DEXTRA_CHARSETS=all 
 
-DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 \ # auto download boost library file
-DWITH_BOOST=/home/maxwellyang/Desktop/mysql-dev/source_code/boost \ # boost library save dir
-DINSTALL_LAYOUT=STANDALONE


make

make install

## problem encountered after using the compiled version
/etc/init.d/mysqld start # execute failed without writing to mysql error log
bash -x /etc/init.d/mysqld start # to see where script stopped, suspect script maybe error out at /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/data/mydb --pid-file=/data/mydb/mysql-dev.pid

bash -x /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/data/mydb --pid-file=/data/mydb/mysql-dev.pid # suspect script maybe error out at /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld  --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/data/mydb --plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin --user=mysql  --log-error=/data/mydb/3306.err --pid-file=/data/mydb/mysql-dev.pid --port=3306

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld  --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/data/mydb --plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin --user=mysql  --log-error=/data/mydb/3306.err --pid-file=/data/mydb/mysql-dev.pid --port=3306 # this script error with [ERROR] COLLATION ‘utf8mb4_general_ci‘ is not valid for CHARACTER SET ‘latin1‘

# now we see problem is related to collation and characterset.
# my previous database charset is latin1, which is the default charset when installing with tar.gz package
# but the default collation for the compiled version is utf8mb4_general_ci, which is not compatible with charset latin1
# plus I don‘t specify collation-server paramter in /etc/my.cnf
# so one solution is to specify collation-server parameter in /etc/my.cnf, 1 usable options is collation-server=latin1_german1_ci
# then the above /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld script can success
# tried the /etc/init.d/mysqld start, can work also.
