-2.5.10. Installing MySQL from Source on Windows
-
-   These instructions describe how to build binaries from source for
-   MySQL 5.1 on Windows. Instructions are provided for building
-   binaries from a standard source distribution or from the Bazaar
-   tree that contains the latest development source.
-
-Note
-
-   The instructions here are strictly for users who want to test
-   MySQL on Microsoft Windows from the latest source distribution or
-   from the Bazaar tree. For production use, we do not advise using a
-   MySQL server built by yourself from source. Normally, it is best
-   to use precompiled binary distributions of MySQL that are built
-   specifically for optimal performance on Windows by Oracle
-   Corporation. Instructions for installing binary distributions are
-   available in Section 2.5, "Installing MySQL on Windows."
-
-   To build MySQL on Windows from source, you must satisfy the
-   following system, compiler, and resource requirements:
-
-     * Windows 2000, Windows XP, or newer version.
-       Windows Vista is supported when using Visual Studio 2005
-       provided you have installed the following updates:
-
-          + Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU
-            Service Pack 1 (KB926601)
-            (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=926601)
-
-          + Security Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
-            Professional Edition - ENU (KB937061)
-            (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=937061)
-
-          + Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional
-            Edition - ENU (KB932232)
-            (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=932232)
-
-     * CMake, which can be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org.
-       After installing, modify your path to include the cmake
-       binary.
-
-     * Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, Visual Studio .Net
-       2003 (7.1), or Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) compiler system.
-
-     * If you are using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, you must
-       also install an appropriate Platform SDK. More information and
-       links to downloads for various Windows platforms is available
-       from
-       http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0baf2
-       b35-c656-4969-ace8-e4c0c0716adb.
-
-     * If you are compiling from a Bazaar tree or making changes to
-       the parser, you need bison for Windows, which can be
-       downloaded from
-       http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm. Download
-       the package labeled "Complete package, excluding sources".
-       After installing the package, modify your path to include the
-       bison binary and ensure that this binary is accessible from
-       Visual Studio.
-
-     * Cygwin might be necessary if you want to run the test script
-       or package the compiled binaries and support files into a Zip
-       archive. (Cygwin is needed only to test or package the
-       distribution, not to build it.) Cygwin is available from
-       http://cygwin.com.
-
-     * 3GB to 5GB of disk space.
-
-   The exact system requirements for Visual Studio can be found here:
-   http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/Previous/2003/sysreqs/default.as
-   px and
-   http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/sysreqs/default.aspx
-
-   You also need a MySQL source distribution for Windows, which can
-   be obtained two ways:
-
-     * Obtain a source distribution packaged by Oracle Corporation.
-       These are available from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
-
-     * Package a source distribution yourself from the latest Bazaar
-       developer source tree. For instructions on pulling the latest
-       source files, see Section 2.3.3, "Installing from the
-       Development Source Tree."
-
-   If you find something not working as expected, or you have
-   suggestions about ways to improve the current build process on
-   Windows, please send a message to the win32 mailing list. See
-   Section 1.6.1, "MySQL Mailing Lists."
-
-2.5.10.1. Building MySQL from Source Using CMake and Visual Studio
-
-   You can build MySQL on Windows by using a combination of cmake and
-   Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (7.1), Microsoft Visual Studio
-   2005 (8.0), Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (9.0) or Microsoft Visual
-   C++ 2005 Express Edition. You must have the appropriate Microsoft
-   Platform SDK installed.
-
-Note
-
-   To compile from the source code on Windows you must use the
-   standard source distribution (for example, mysql-5.1.46.tar.gz).
-   You build from the same distribution as used to build MySQL on
-   Unix, Linux and other platforms. Do not use the Windows Source
-   distributions as they do not contain the necessary configuration
-   script and other files.
-
-   Follow this procedure to build MySQL:
-
-    1. If you are installing from a packaged source distribution,
-       create a work directory (for example, C:\workdir), and unpack
-       the source distribution there using WinZip or another Windows
-       tool that can read .zip files. This directory is the work
-       directory in the following instructions.
-
-Note
-       You must run the commands in the win directory from the
-       top-level source directory. Do not change into the win
-       directory, as the commands will not be executed correctly.
-
-    2. Start a command shell. If you have not configured the PATH and
-       other environment variables for all command shells, you may be
-       able to start a command shell from the Start Menu within the
-       Windows Visual Studio menu that contains the necessary
-       environment changes.
-
-    3. Within the command shell, navigate to the work directory and
-       run the following command:
-C:\workdir>win\configure.js options
-       If you have associated the .js file extension with an
-       application such as a text editor, then you may need to use
-       the following command to force configure.js to be executed as
-       a script:
-C:\workdir>cscript win\configure.js options
-       These options are available for configure.js:
-
-          + WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE: Enable the InnoDB storage
-            engine.
-
-          + WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE: Enable user-defined
-            partitioning.
-
-          + WITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE: Enable the ARCHIVE storage
-            engine.
-
-          + WITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE: Enable the BLACKHOLE
-            storage engine.
-
-          + WITH_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE: Enable the EXAMPLE storage
-            engine.
-
-          + WITH_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE: Enable the FEDERATED
-            storage engine.
-
-          + WITH_NDBCLUSTER_STORAGE_ENGINE (experimental): Enable the
-            NDBCLUSTER storage engine in the MySQL server; cause
-            binaries for the MySQL Cluster management and data node,
-            management client, and other programs to be built.
-            This option is supported only in MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0
-            (NDBCLUSTER storage engine versions 6.4.0 and later)
-            using the MySQL Cluster sources. It cannot be used to
-            enable clustering support in other MySQL source trees or
-            distributions.
-
-          + MYSQL_SERVER_SUFFIX=suffix: Server suffix, default none.
-
-          + COMPILATION_COMMENT=comment: Server comment, default
-            "Source distribution".
-
-          + MYSQL_TCP_PORT=port: Server port, default 3306.
-
-          + DISABLE_GRANT_OPTIONS: Disables the --bootstrap,
-            --skip-grant-tables, and --init-file options for mysqld.
-            This option is available as of MySQL 5.1.15.
-       For example (type the command on one line):
-C:\workdir>win\configure.js WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE
-             WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE MYSQL_SERVER_SUFFIX=-pro
-
-    4. From the work directory, execute the win\build-vs9.bat
-       (Windows Visual Studio 2008), win\build-vs8.bat (Windows
-       Visual Studio 2005), or win\build-vs71.bat (Windows Visual
-       Stidion 2003) script, depending on the version of Visual
-       Studio you have installed. The script invokes CMake, which
-       generates the mysql.sln solution file.
-       You can also use the corresponding 64-bit file (for example
-       win\build-vs8_x64.bat or win\build-vs9_x64.bat) to build the
-       64-bit version of MySQL. However, you cannot build the 64-bit
-       version with Visual Studio Express Edition. You must use
-       Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) or higher.
-
-    5. From the work directory, open the generated mysql.sln file
-       with Visual Studio and select the proper configuration using
-       the Configuration menu. The menu provides Debug, Release,
-       RelwithDebInfo, MinRelInfo options. Then select Solution >
-       Build to build the solution.
-       Remember the configuration that you use in this step. It is
-       important later when you run the test script because that
-       script needs to know which configuration you used.
-
-    6. Test the server. The server built using the preceding
-       instructions expects that the MySQL base directory and data
-       directory are C:\mysql and C:\mysql\data by default. If you
-       want to test your server using the source tree root directory
-       and its data directory as the base directory and data
-       directory, you need to tell the server their path names. You
-       can either do this on the command line with the --basedir and
-       --datadir options, or by placing appropriate options in an
-       option file. (See Section 4.2.3.3, "Using Option Files.") If
-       you have an existing data directory elsewhere that you want to
-       use, you can specify its path name instead.
-       When the server is running in standalone fashion or as a
-       service based on your configuration, try to connect to it from
-       the mysql interactive command-line utility.
-       You can also run the standard test script, mysql-test-run.pl.
-       This script is written in Perl, so you'll need either Cygwin
-       or ActiveState Perl to run it. You may also need to install
-       the modules required by the script. To run the test script,
-       change location into the mysql-test directory under the work
-       directory, set the MTR_VS_CONFIG environment variable to the
-       configuration you selected earlier (or use the --vs-config
-       option), and invoke mysql-test-run.pl. For example (using
-       Cygwin and the bash shell):
-shell> cd mysql-test
-shell> export MTR_VS_CONFIG=debug
-shell> ./mysql-test-run.pl --force --timer
-shell> ./mysql-test-run.pl --force --timer --ps-protocol
-
-   When you are satisfied that the programs you have built are
-   working correctly, stop the server. Now you can install the
-   distribution. One way to do this is to use the make_win_bin_dist
-   script in the scripts directory of the MySQL source distribution
-   (see Section 4.4.2, "make_win_bin_dist --- Package MySQL
-   Distribution as ZIP Archive"). This is a shell script, so you must
-   have Cygwin installed if you want to use it. It creates a Zip
-   archive of the built executables and support files that you can
-   unpack in the location at which you want to install MySQL.
-
-   It is also possible to install MySQL by copying directories and
-   files directly:
-
-    1. Create the directories where you want to install MySQL. For
-       example, to install into C:\mysql, use these commands:
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\bin
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\data
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\share
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\scripts
-       If you want to compile other clients and link them to MySQL,
-       you should also create several additional directories:
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\include
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\lib
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\lib\debug
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\lib\opt
-       If you want to benchmark MySQL, create this directory:
-C:\> mkdir C:\mysql\sql-bench
-       Benchmarking requires Perl support. See Section 2.15, "Perl
-       Installation Notes."
-
-    2. From the work directory, copy into the C:\mysql directory the
-       following files and directories:
-C:\> cd \workdir
-C:\workdir> mkdir C:\mysql
-C:\workdir> mkdir C:\mysql\bin
-C:\workdir> copy client\Release\*.exe C:\mysql\bin
-C:\workdir> copy sql\Release\mysqld.exe C:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe
-C:\workdir> xcopy scripts\*.* C:\mysql\scripts /E
-C:\workdir> xcopy share\*.* C:\mysql\share /E
-       If you want to compile other clients and link them to MySQL,
-       you should also copy several libraries and header files:
-C:\workdir> copy lib\Release\mysqlclient.lib C:\mysql\lib\debug
-C:\workdir> copy lib\Release\libmysql.* C:\mysql\lib\debug
-C:\workdir> copy lib\Release\zlib.* C:\mysql\lib\debug
-C:\workdir> copy lib\Release\mysqlclient.lib C:\mysql\lib\opt
-C:\workdir> copy lib\Release\libmysql.* C:\mysql\lib\opt
-C:\workdir> copy lib\Release\zlib.* C:\mysql\lib\opt
-C:\workdir> copy include\*.h C:\mysql\include
-C:\workdir> copy libmysql\libmysql.def C:\mysql\include
-
-Note
-       If you have compiled a Debug, rather than Release solution,
-       you can replace Release with Debug in the source file names
-       shown above.
-       If you want to benchmark MySQL, you should also do this:
-C:\workdir> xcopy sql-bench\*.* C:\mysql\bench /E
-
-   After installation, set up and start the server in the same way as
-   for binary Windows distributions. This includes creating the
-   system tables by running mysql_install_db. For more information,
-   see Section 2.5, "Installing MySQL on Windows."
