Can't install xtrabackup 2.4 from GitHub sources

[Artyom]

I use MySQL 5.7.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I tried to follow the manual (https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.3/installation/compiling_xtrabackup.html) to build xtrabackup 2.4 from GitHub sources:
https://github.com/percona/percona-xtrabackup/tree/2.4

Because 2.3 not working with MySQL 5.7 =(

Steps:
1. git clone https://github.com/percona/percona-xtrabackup
2. cd percona-xtrabackup && git checkout 2.4
3. apt-get install build-essential flex bison automake autoconf \
   libtool cmake libaio-dev mysql-client libncurses-dev zlib1g-dev \
   libgcrypt11-dev libev-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev vim-common
4. apt-get install python-sphinx
5. In another console:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.59.0/boost_1_59_0.tar.gz/download && tar -zxvf boost_1_59_0.tar.gz
6. cmake -DBUILD_CONFIG=xtrabackup_release -DWITH_BOOST=/home/mezin.a/boost_1_59_0 && make -j4
7. make install

And finally I can't get it working:
root@mysql:/home/mezin.a/percona-xtrabackup# xtrabackup --version
The program 'xtrabackup' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install percona-xtrabackup
root@mysql:~# innobackupex --version
The program 'innobackupex' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install percona-xtrabackup

What I'm doing wrong?

When we can see support for MySQL 5.7? All forum questions about it without answers.

Probably "make install" installs it into the directory that is not in your PATH. Please, send the output of:

find / -name xtrabackup 2>/dev/null

In my case I have it here:

/usr/local/xtrabackup
/usr/local/xtrabackup/bin/xtrabackup

As @Valerii said the default path is:

sh@percona-XPS-15:/usr/local/xtrabackup/bin$ ls
innobackupex xbcloud xbcloud_osenv xbcrypt xbstream xtrabackup
sh@percona-XPS-15:/usr/local/xtrabackup/bin$ pwd
/usr/local/xtrabackup/bin

Tested with:

3.19.0-43-generic #49~14.04.1-Ubuntu

root@mysql:~# find / -name xtrabackup 2>/dev/null
/usr/local/xtrabackup
/usr/local/xtrabackup/bin/xtrabackup

Ok. But how to install it in folders like `apt-get` do?

Hi Artyom,

For tuning installation layout please refer comments in cmake/install_layout.cmake

[Artyom (artyom89)]

What I need to do to install it like apt-get does?
I don't know what I need to change and what I need to set, I'm just want to install it and use without full path typing.

Can you help me with this thing? =)

[Sergei Glushchenko (sergei.glushchenko)]

Artyom,

You are probably looking for "RPM" layout (xtrabackup binary goes to /usr/bin). Just add "-DINSTALL_LAYOUT=RPM" to your cmake command.

Full cmake command will look like:

cmake -DBUILD_CONFIG=xtrabackup_release -DWITH_MAN_PAGES=OFF -DINSTALL_LAYOUT=RPM
