1.8.2. Building MySQL from a Windows Source Distribution
The Windows source distribution includes the necessary solution
file and the vcproj files required to build
each component. Using this method you are not able to select the
storage engines that are included in your build.
Note
VC++ workspace files for MySQL 4.1 and above are compatible
with Microsoft Visual Studio 7.1 and tested by us before each
release.
Follow this procedure to build MySQL:
Create a work directory (for example,
C:\workdir).
Unpack the source distribution in the aforementioned
directory using WinZip or another Windows
tool that can read .zip files.
Start Visual Studio .Net 2003 (7.1).
From the File menu, select
Open Solution....
Open the mysql.sln solution you find in
the work directory.
From the Build menu, select
Configuration Manager....
In the Active Solution Configuration
pop-up menu, select the configuration to use. You likely
want to use one of nt (normal
server), Max nt (more engines and
features), or Debug configuration.
From the Build menu, select
Build Solution.
Debug versions of the programs and libraries are placed in
the client_debug and
lib_debug directories. Release versions
of the programs and libraries are placed in the
client_release and
lib_release directories.
