Install the complete tarball (except some binaries which seem to be irrelevant) Look at .am and .ac files in the bundle, and implement similar build functionality in cmake. Look at mysql patches to the old libedit library. These are tagged with XXXMYSQL. Most of these patches are now irrelevant: adaptations to platforms no longer supported, or things which have been fixed upstream. The only mysql patch which seems to be relevant is Bug#11757855 49967: BUILT-IN LIBEDIT DOESN'T READ .EDITRC ON LINUX The new libedit library does have configure code, and C macros to use secure_getenv() if it is available, but the actual code in src/el.c does not use it. So we do something similar to the patch for Bug#11757855 49967, and fall back to using getuid() geteuid() getgid() getegid() instead of issetugid()
