Current #MariaDB Server GA versions are formally not supported (and probably not even regularly built or tested) on #macOS 10.x and 11.y. But it's relatively easy to set up the environment and build MariaDB Server from current 10.1 - 10.8 #GitHub sources, with few minor issues to resolve in the process, depending on macOS and major server version used.

This talk is a summary of my related experience on 10.13 High Sierra that I had a chance to work on recently, with additional quick review of related fixed and open bugs, as well as some unique features like #DTrace support that one may benefit from on macOS. Actually, studying DTrace in context of MariaDB Server troubleshooting and performance tuning was one of the goals why I started to use macOS again.
