 2.8.6 Installing MySQL from Source on Windows
 ---------------------------------------------

* windows-vc-plus-plus-build   Building MySQL Using VC++
* windows-bitkeeper-build      Creating a Windows Source Package from the Latest Development Source
 
 These instructions describe how to build binaries from source for MySQL
 5.0 on Windows. Instructions are provided for building binaries from a
 standard source distribution or from the BitKeeper tree that contains
 the latest development source.
 
 MySQL on Windows from the latest source distribution or from the
 BitKeeper tree. For production use, MySQL AB does not advise using a
 MySQL server built by yourself from source. Normally, it is best to use
 precompiled binary distributions of MySQL that are built specifically
 for optimal performance on Windows by MySQL AB.  Instructions for
 installing a binary distributions are available in 
 windows-installation.
 
 To build MySQL on Windows from source, you need the following compiler
 and resources available on your Windows system:
 
    * Visual Studio 2003 compiler system (VC++ 7.0).
 
    * Between 3GB and 5GB disk space.
 
    * Windows 2000 or higher.
 
 The exact system requirements can be found here:
 `http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/sysreqs/default.aspx'
 
 You also need a MySQL source distribution for Windows. There are two
 ways to obtain a source distribution:
 
   1. Obtain a source distribution packaged by MySQL AB. These are
      available from `http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/'.
 
   2. You can package a source distribution yourself from the latest
      BitKeeper developer source tree. If you plan to do this, you must
      create the package on a Unix system and then transfer it to your
      Windows system. (Some of the configuration and build steps require
      tools that work only on Unix.) The BitKeeper approach thus
      requires:
 
         * A system running Unix, or a Unix-like system such as Linux.
 
         * BitKeeper 3.0 installed on that system. See 
           installing-source-tree, for instructions how to download
           and install BitKeeper.
 
 If you are using a Windows source distribution, you can go directly to
  windows-vc-plus-plus-build. To build from the BitKeeper tree,
 proceed to  windows-bitkeeper-build.
 
 If you find something not working as expected, or you have suggestions
 about ways to improve the current build process on Windows, please send
 a message to the `win32' mailing list. See  mailing-lists.
