Work on code

• Official Link for Source Code

Caveat: MySQL build depends on boost 1.59.0. You can easily download source and do

# sh bootstrap.sh && ./b2 && ./b2 install

If you have install other version of boost, you can uninstall it with

# rm /usr/local/lib/libboost*
# rm -rf /usr/local/include/boost

• Source
• How to build

Two tweak have been done

Since I was building in Ubuntu, I use sudo prepend all command.
# cmake need a boost dir, which you can provide a download option
# cmake .. -DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 -DWITH_BOOST=~/code/boost/
