Description:
bzr tree mysql-next revision 3195

$ make
$ make install

$ mkdir /PATH_of_install_dir/etc
$ cd /PATH_of_install_dir/etc
$ vi my.cnf

Create a my.cnf with given basedir and given datadir

$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/PATH_of_install_dir/etc/my.cnf

FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults

$ ls ./bin
...
my_print_defaults
...

$ less ./scripts/mysql_install_db

print_defaults="$builddir/extra/my_print_defaults"

This looks like it's searching in PATH/extra but the error message says it should be in ./bin and it's in bin.

How to repeat:
See above

The workaround is to run ./bin/my_print_defaults before running mysql_install_db

This seems to be a duplicate of Bug #34981 which has a patch.
