# #
# HOWTO : INSTALL MySQL FROM SOURCE #
# WINDOWS PORT #
# #
# COpyright (C) MySQL AB 1995-2003 #
#########################################################
This is a simple 'HOWTO' document describing howto build
MySQL 4.1 and above version binaries for Windows from
'BitKeeper' tree as well as from normal source archive.
---------------------------------------------------------
NOTE
---------------------------------------------------------
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.
Other wise better always strict to MySQL binary distributions
which is built specifically for optmistic performance,
available from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
--------------------------------------------------------
TABLE OF CONTENTS
--------------------------------------------------------
1. REQUIREMENTS
2. OBTAINING THE WINDOWS SOURCE ARCHIVE
3. CREATING SOURCE PACKAGE FROM 'BitKeeper' TREE.
4. BUILDING 'mysql server and clients' FROM VC++ WORKSPACE
5. BUILDING FROM 'nmake' MAKEFILES
6. STARTING AND CONFIGURING THE SERVER FOR FISRT TIME
7. TESTING THE CONNECTION
8. SPECIAL NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------
1. REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------
To build MySQL on Windows from its bitkeeper source, you need
the following compilers and/or tools installed 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:
- BitKeeper 3.0 (http://www.bitkeeper.com)
- Any working and fully built *UNIX* BK tree
-------------------------------------------------------
2. OBTAINING WINDOWS SOURCE ARCHIVE
-------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways you can get the Windows source package for
MySQL 4.1 and above versions:
I. MySQL distributed source package for the perticular version,
which can be obtainied from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads
II. Source package archive From the latest Development
'BitKeeper' tree.
In case if you are using the OPTION 'I', then you can skip the
next section and go directly to 'BUILDING FROM VC++ WORKSPACE'.
-------------------------------------------------------
3. CREATING SOURCE PACKAGE FROM 'BitKeeper' TREE
-------------------------------------------------------
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:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html
- Make sure the build process went through.
- Now run the following script from the mysql installed
root directory, which creates the windows source package:
./scripts/make_win_src_distribution
You can even supply different options to this script based
on your needs. It takes:
./scripts/make_win_src_distribution --help
MySQL utility script to create a Windows src package, and it takes
the following arguments:
--debug Debug, without creating the package
--tmp Specify the temporary location
--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
- Copy or upload this created windows source package to
your windows directory.
---------------------------------------------------------
4. BUILDING 'mysql server & clients' from VC++ WORKSPACE
---------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: MySQL 4.1 and above VC++ workspace files are compatible
with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and above(7.0/.NET)
editions and tested by MySQL folks before each
release.
Unpack the Windows source zipped archive to a folder and open
mysql.dsw from your top level directory.
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
errors, please cross check and send the compiler output to
win32@lists.mysql.com for further assistance.
---------------------------------------------------------
5. BUILDING FROM 'nmake' MAKEFILESS
---------------------------------------------------------
TODO from MySQL PIEFU team.
---------------------------------------------------------
6. STARTING THE MYSQL SERVER FIRST TIME
---------------------------------------------------------
First ensure to set or copy my.ini or my.cnf file to your
'data' directory that exists in the top-level directory or
point to existing 'data' directory.
Now, start your server from 'client_release' or 'client_debug'
sub-directories by following the instructions from:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Windows_installation.html
Thats all !!! See, its as simple as building 'mysql' on any
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.
- 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'.
Thanks
