MySQL 4.1 and above version binaries for Windows from

This is a simple 'HOWTO' document describing how to
build MySQL binaries for versions 4.1 and above on
Windows. Instructions are provided for building binaries
from a standard source distribution or from the BitKeeper
tree that contains the latest developer source.

This is strictly for users who wants to test the MySQL from
the latest source from BitKeeper branch on Windows and for
internal MySQL developers.

Normally, it is best to use precompiled binary distributions
of MySQL that are built specifically for optimal performance
on Windows by MySQL AB. Binary distributions are available
from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
The instructions in this document are strictly for users
who want to test MySQL on Windows from the latest source or
from the BitKeeper tree, and for internal MySQL developers.

To build MySQL on Windows from its bitkeeper source, you need
the following compilers and/or tools installed on your Windows
To build MySQL on Windows from source, you need the
following compiler and resources available on your Windows
system:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and above
- MySQL Source package
(http://www.mysql.com/downloads)
- ~45 MB disk space
- 64 MB RAM
In case from BitKeeper tree:
You'll also need a MySQL source distribution. You can
get the source for released versions of MySQL from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
Alternatively, you can package a source distribution
yourself from the latest BitKeeper developer source
tree. If you plan to do this, you must create the
package on a Unix system and then transfer it to your
Windows system. (The reason for this is that the initial
configuration scripts and some of the build steps work
only on Unix.) The BitKeeper approach thus requires:
- BitKeeper 3.0 (http://www.bitkeeper.com)
- Any working and fully built *UNIX* BK tree
- A system running Unix, or a Unix-like system such as Linux
- BitKeeper 3.0 installed on that system (you can obtain
BitKeeper from http://www.bitkeeper.com)
-------------------------------------------------------
2. OBTAINING WINDOWS SOURCE ARCHIVE
2. OBTAINING A WINDOWS SOURCE DISTRIBUTION
-------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways you can get the Windows source package for
MySQL 4.1 and above versions:
There are two ways you can get a Windows source distribution for
MySQL version 4.1 and above:
I. MySQL distributed source package for the perticular version,
which can be obtainied from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads
I. Obtain a MySQL AB-distributed source distribution for the
particular version of MySQL in which you are interested.
Prepackaged source distributions are available for released
versions of MySQL and can be obtained from:
II. Source package archive From the latest Development
'BitKeeper' tree.
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
In case if you are using the OPTION 'I', then you can skip the
next section and go directly to 'BUILDING FROM VC++ WORKSPACE'.
II. Create a source package yourself from the latest development
'BitKeeper' source tree.
If you are using the first option, you can skip the next
section and go directly to 'BUILDING FROM VC++ WORKSPACE'.

-------------------------------------------------------
To build the latest Windows source package, Please follow the
following instructions from any of your '*UNIX*' operating
systems (preferably Linux):
- Get the latest BK clone of MySQL 4.1 (or above, as desired)
and build the source. For more information how to do this,
follow the instructions from:
- Clone the BitKeeper source tree for MySQL (version 4.1
or above, as desired). For more information how to clone
the BitKeeper source tree, follow the instructions at:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html
- Make sure the build process went through.
- Build the distribution so that you have a server binary to
work with. One way to do this is to run the following
command in the top-level directory of your source tree:
- Now run the following script from the mysql installed
root directory, which creates the windows source package:
./BUILD/compile-pentium-max
./scripts/make_win_src_distribution
- After making sure that build process completed successfully,
run the following utility script from top-level directory
of your source tree:
You can even supply different options to this script based
on your needs. It takes:
./scripts/make_win_src_distribution
./scripts/make_win_src_distribution --help
MySQL utility script to create a Windows src package, and it takes
the following arguments:
This script creates the Windows source package. You can
supply different options to the script based on your needs.
It accepts: the following options:
--debug Debug, without creating the package
--tmp Specify the temporary location
--suffix Suffix name for the package
--dirname Directory name to copy files (intermediate)
--silent Do not list verbosely files processed
--tar Create tar.gz package instead of .zip
--help Show this help message
By default it creates the zipped archive with the name:
mysql-$version-win-src.zip
By default, make_win_src_distribution creates a zipped
archive with the name mysql-$version-win-src.zip, where
$version is the version of the MySQL source tree you
cloned.
- Copy or upload this created windows source package to
your windows directory.
- Copy or upload to your Windows machine the Windows source
package that you have just created, and compile it using
the instructions in the next section.

If you want to build both release and debug versions, then
select 'build' -> 'buildall' option or in case to build only
'release' or 'debug' versions, then select all appropriate
workspaces from 'custom build' option.
The simplest solution to build basic clients and core server
is to set your current active workspace as 'mysqld' release
or debug version, and just hit 'build' or 'F7', which creates
necessary client binaries in 'client_release' or 'client_debug'
and the libraries are placed in 'lib_release' and 'lib_debug'
for release and debug versions respectively.
Now, you are all up with the things. If you get any compiler
select 'build' -> 'buildall' option. To build only 'release'
or 'debug' versions, then select all appropriate workspaces
from the 'build' -> 'batch build' option.
The simplest solution to build basic clients and core
server is to set your current active workspace as 'mysqld'

'lib_release' and 'lib_debug' directories for release and

Now you have built the distribution. If you get any compiler
errors, please cross check and send the compiler output to
win32@lists.mysql.com for further assistance.

First ensure to set or copy my.ini or my.cnf file to your

other platforms !!!

7. TESTING THE CONNECTION

Once the server is running in standalone or as a service
based on your configuration, try to connect to it from
'mysql' command line SQL interactive utility that exists
from your 'client_release' or 'client_debug' directory.

8. SPECIAL NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------------------------------------
- MySQL doesnot advice to use 'mysql' server built by
yourself from sources, instead stick to binaries shipped
by MySQL on the production environment.
- For production use, MySQL AB does not advise using a MySQL
server built by yourself from source. Instead, stick to
binaries shipped by MySQL AB.
- If you find something is not working as expected, or
some improvements to the current one can be made, then
please send a mail to 'win32@lists.mysql.com'.
- If you find something not working as expected, or you have
suggestions about ways to improve the current build process
on Windows, please email to 'win32@lists.mysql.com'.
