MySQL 8.4 Reference Manual  /  ...  /  Compiling and Installing NDB Cluster from Source on Windows

25.3.2.2 Compiling and Installing NDB Cluster from Source on Windows

Oracle provides precompiled NDB Cluster binaries for Windows which should be adequate for most users. However, if you wish, it is also possible to compile NDB 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:

  • MySQL NDB Cluster 8.4 is built from the MySQL Server 8.4 sources, available from the MySQL downloads page at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/. The archived source file should have a name similar to mysql-8.4.0.tar.gz. You can also obtain the sources from GitHub at https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.

  • You must configure the build using the WITH_NDB option in addition to any other build options you wish to use with CMake. WITH_NDBCLUSTER is also supported for backwards compatibility, but is deprecated and subject to future removal.

Important

The WITH_NDB_JAVA option is enabled by default. This means that, by default, if CMake cannot find the location of Java on your system, the configuration process fails; if you do not wish to enable Java and ClusterJ support, you must indicate this explicitly by configuring the build using -DWITH_NDB_JAVA=OFF. (Bug #12379735) Use WITH_CLASSPATH to provide the Java classpath if needed.

For more information about CMake options specific to building NDB Cluster, see CMake Options for Compiling NDB Cluster.

Once the build process is complete, you can create a Zip archive containing the compiled binaries; Section 2.8.4, “Installing MySQL Using a Standard Source Distribution” provides the commands needed to perform this task on Windows systems. The NDB 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 25.3.2.1, “Installing NDB Cluster on Windows from a Binary Release”.
