Hello,
I would like to install a MySql from source.
But I also would like to compile a secure installation.
So I need somes advices about the compilation to produce that secure

My OS is Linux (Fedora C4)

Regards

Why would you imagine that compiling it from source would magically
result in improved security?

If you're actually interested in protecting the installation from
attacks, you might want to get the recently-released book _The
Database Hacker's Handbook: Defending Database Servers_.
<http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0764578014.html>

It discusses how to break into and therefore how to defend various
database servers including MySQL(tm).

The point of compiling may be one of the smallest points of
vulnerability; numerous vulnerabilities have nothing to do with
compile options...

Yes, I know that compiling is one of security aspect.
But it is difficult to find any informations from a security aspect
about the process of compilation in case of MySql.
I can found a lot of articles on how-to securise an installed MySql.
A security rule is "install only the necessary".
My question was just to known which rules may I have to follow to build
a "secure" MySql. Is it realy bad to find "security" already at
compilation step ? I think no.
