| Windows building readme | ||
| ====================================== | ||
|
|
||
| ----------------IMPORTANT---------------------------- | ||
| This readme outlines the instructions for building | ||
| MySQL for Windows staring from version 5.1. | ||
| This readme does not apply to MySQL versions 5.0 | ||
| or ealier. | ||
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| The Windows build system uses a tool named CMake to generate build files for | ||
| a variety of project systems. This tool is combined with a set of jscript | ||
| files to enable building of MySQL for Windows directly out of a bzr clone. | ||
| For relevant information, please refer to http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/CMake | ||
| 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 | ||
| ------ | ||
| One of the nice CMake features is "out-of-source" build support, which | ||
| means not building in the source directory, but in dedicated build | ||
| directory. This keeps the source directory clean and allows for more than | ||
| single build tree for the same source tree (e.g debug and release, 32 and | ||
| 64 bit etc). We'll create subdirectory "bld" in the source directory for | ||
| this purpose. Clone your bzr tree to any location you like. | ||
|
|
||
| Step 5 | ||
| ------ | ||
| From the root of your installation directory use cmake . -L to see the | ||
| various configuration parameters. | ||
|
|
||
| So the command line could look like: | ||
|
|
||
| cmake .. -G "target" -DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 | ||
|
|
||
| The recommended way of configuring would be to use -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release | ||
| to build binaries exactly the same as the official MySQL releases. | ||
|
|
||
| Step 6 | ||
| ------ | ||
|
|
||
| From the root of your installation directory/bzr clone, you can | ||
| use cmake to compile the sources. Use cmake --help when necessary. | ||
| Before you start building the sources, please remove the old build area | ||
| created from an earlier run and start afresh. | ||
|
|
||
| C:\> del bld | ||
| C:\> md bld | ||
| C:\> cd bld | ||
| C:\> cmake .. -G "target name" -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| For Example: | ||
| To generate the Win64 project files using Visual Studio 9, you would run | ||
| cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64" | ||
|
|
||
| Other target names supported using CMake 2.6 patch 4 are: | ||
|
|
||
| Visual Studio 7 "Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003" | ||
| Visual Studio 8 "Visual Studio 8 2005" | ||
| Visual Studio 8 (64 bit) "Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64" | ||
| Visual Studio 9 "Visual Studio 9 2008" | ||
| Visual Studio 9 (64 bit) "Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64" | ||
|
|
||
| For generating project files using Visual Studio 10, you need CMake 2.8 | ||
| or higher and corresponding target names are | ||
| Visual Studio 10 "Visual Studio 10" | ||
| Visual Studio 10 (64 bit) "Visual Studio 10 Win64" | ||
|
|
||
| Step 7 | ||
| ------ | ||
| From the root of your bzr clone, start your build. | ||
|
|
||
| For Visual Studio, execute mysql.sln. This will start the IDE | ||
| and you can click the build solution menu option. | ||
|
|
||
| Alternatively, you could start the build from command line as follows | ||
|
|
||
| devenv mysql.sln /build relwithdebinfo | ||
|
|
||
| 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. | ||
