First, we recommend to do all the development on the latest MariaDB
branch and with git.

So, install git and clone https://github.com/mariadb/server.

Compile, run the test suite, etc.

Also, you might want to understand the project idea, know what virtual
columns are, why they cannot be indexed, how this is supposed to be
fixed. Check related parts of the code, may be.

Sergei
