Source code is at:


http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/#downloads


Just select "Source Code" as platform. There is a Generic Linux TAR of the source.


So - with source code available, how do I get from a pile of source code to having this as a working application on a Pandora? Is there a listing of the steps from source to application somewhere?
 
Wow... that's a serious endeavour! The creators of Workbench seem to have some significant trouble stopping it being a crashy sack of crap on most desktops, so you're going to have a struggle on the Pandora.


Keep me posted, though, as I use it heavily on a daily basis and would love to see how it runs. I suspect you'd have some serious screen resolution problems, though, as the WB UI is a bit cluttery.


I would suggest you use a local install of PHPMyAdmin, if you can get a LAMP environment up and running on the Pandy that is! It's not much better in terms of screen real estate usage, but it's infinitely more stable.


I can't really point you in the right direction; it's hard to find up-to-date and correct information. But you're likely going to need a linux environment, and whatever Pandora toolchain you can get your hands on. And that's just the beginning. Good luck!


I guess it depends how many of WBs more "advanced" features you use!


I don't know how reliable this resource is: http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=109

I tried to build it and I think it needed some packages, that are outdated on pandora to work. Some of them are really hard to compile. But if anyone can make it work, I applaud him/her.
 
Maybe not a beginners project then. Hmm...


Will this become easier when Arch is ready?
