Oracle provides precompiled MySQL Cluster binaries for Windows which should be adequate for most users. However, if you wish, it is also possible to compile MySQL Cluster for Windows from source code. The procedure for doing this is almost identical to the procedure used to compile the standard MySQL Server binaries for Windows, and uses the same tools. However, there are two major differences:
To build MySQL Cluster, you must use the MySQL Cluster sources, which you can obtain from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.
Attempting to build MySQL Cluster from the source code for the standard MySQL Server is likely not to be successful, and is not supported by Oracle.
You must configure the build using the
WITH_NDBCLUSTER_STORAGE_ENGINE option in
addition to any other build options you wish to use before
creating the Visual Studio project files. Once you have run
configure.js with the desired options,
you can create the project files and build from them in the
same manner as you do when compiling the standard MySQL
Server. For more information, see
Installing MySQL from Source on Windows.
Once the build process is complete, you can create a Zip archive
containing the compiled binaries by executing make
package. The MySQL Cluster binaries can be found in
the bin directory of the resulting archive,
which is equivalent to the no-install
archive, and which can be installed and configured in the same
manner. For more information, see
Section 17.2.2.1, “Installing MySQL Cluster on Windows from a Binary Release”.
