This tool is combined with a set of jscript -files to enable building of MySQL for Windows directly out of a bk clone. -The steps required are below. - -Step 1: -------- - -Install a Windows C++ compiler. If you don't have one, you can use -the free compiler "Visual C++ 2005 express edition", which from Cmake -point of view is same as Visual studio 8: -http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ - -Step 2 ------- -Download and install CMake. It can be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org. -Once it is installed, modify your path to make sure you can execute -the cmake binary. - -Step 3 ------- -Download and install bison for Windows. It can be downloaded from -http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm. Please download using -the link named "Complete package, excluding sources". This includes an -installer that will install bison. After the installer finishes, modify -your path so that you can execute bison. - -(As an alternative you can take the sql_yacc.yy and sql_yacc.h files from a -matching mysql tar distribution and drop them into the sql directory just -before you start the build) - -Step 4 ------- -Clone your bk tree to any location you like. - -Step 5 ------- -From the root of your installation directory, execute the command: - -win\configure <options> - -The options right now are: - - WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE Enable particular storage engines - WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE - WITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE - WITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE - WITH_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE - WITH_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE - __NT__ Enable named pipe support - WITHOUT_ATOMICS Do not use atomic instructions - MYSQL_SERVER_SUFFIX=<suffix> Server suffix, default none - COMPILATION_COMMENT=<comment> Server comment, default "Source distribution" - MYSQL_TCP_PORT=<port> Server port, default 3306 - CYBOZU Default character set is UTF8 - EMBED_MANIFESTS Embed custom manifests into final exes, otherwise VS - default will be used. (Note - This option should only be - used by MySQL AB.) - WITH_EMBEDDED_SERVER Configure solution to produce libmysqld.dll - and the static mysqlserver.lib - -So the command line could look like: - -win\configure WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE MYSQL_SERVER_SUFFIX=-pro - -Step 6 ------- - -From the root of your installation directory/bk clone, execute one of -the batch files to generate the type of project files you desire. - -For Visual Studio 8 (or Visual C++ 2005 express edition), do win\build-vs8. -For Visual Studio 7.1, do win\build-vs71. - -We will support building with nmake in the near future. - -Step 7 ------- -From the root of your bk clone, start your build. - -For Visual Studio, execute mysql.sln. This will start the IDE -and you can click the build solution menu option. - -Current issues --------------- -1. After changing configuration (eg. adding or removing a storage engine), it -may be necessary to clean the build tree to remove any stale objects. - -2. To use Visual C++ Express Edition you also need to install the Platform SDK. -Please see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ -At step 5 you only need to add the libraries advapi32.lib and user32.lib to -the file "corewin_express.vsprops" in order to avoid link errors. |
