Build Instructions for MySQL Server
===================================

The recommended way to build MySQL for developers:

cd <some build directory>
cmake <path to source directory>
make

This will give you a release build, with compiler options taken from
../cmake/build_configurations/compiler_options.cmake
and "feature set" taken from
../cmake/build_configurations/feature_set.cmake

Adding -DWITH_DEBUG=1 to the cmake command line gives you a debug build.


Building on Windows is slightly different:
cd <some build directory>
cmake <path to source directory> -G <generator>

We only support Visual Studio as generator and only 64 bit ("Win64").

cmake --build . --config Debug
or
cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo


If you have special needs, you can disable the defaults by setting
these cmake variables off:

WITH_DEFAULT_COMPILER_OPTIONS
WITH_DEFAULT_FEATURE_SET

Note: For building with unit tests, you need to tell cmake where to find
the sources, see ../unittest/gunit/CMakeLists.txt
You should *not* 'make install' googletest/googlemock on your system,
the libraries must be built from source, with the unit tests.

Note: You need to tell cmake where to find boost, see ../cmake/boost.cmake
