How to build XtraBackup on Windows |
2 |
================================== |
|
3 |
||
4 |
Prerequisites: |
|
5 |
-------------- |
|
6 |
||
7 |
To build XtraBackup on Windows you need the following: |
|
8 |
||
9 |
- a Windows installation. These instructions have been tested on |
|
10 |
Windows XP. |
|
11 |
||
12 |
- CMake, an open source build system available from |
|
13 |
http://www.cmake.org/ |
|
14 |
||
15 |
- Visual Studio. Both commercial and Express editions should work. These |
|
16 |
instructions have been tested on Visual Studio 2005 Express. |
|
17 |
||
18 |
- the patch utility. The Windows version can be downloaded from |
|
19 |
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm |
|
20 |
||
21 |
*** Important note for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users *** |
|
22 |
||
23 |
These Windows versions demand running any executable with the word |
|
24 |
'patch' in the name only with administrative privileges. So if want to |
|
25 |
use the patch utility under an unprivileged user account, you should |
|
26 |
rename "patch.exe" to something else, e.g. "patsh.exe". |
|
27 |
||
28 |
Building instructions: |
|
29 |
---------------------- |
|
30 |
||
31 |
1. Download the source code for the appropriate version of the |
|
32 |
server. You can check the currently supported version by looking up the |
|
33 |
value of the MYSQL_55_VERSION variable in utils/build.sh. |
|
34 |
||
35 |
The currently supported version is usually older than the latest |
|
36 |
released one. Older versions are available from |
|
37 |
http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php |
|
38 |
||
39 |
2. Unpack and patch the server source. |
|
40 |
||
41 |
- unpack the server source archive downloaded at step 1. |
|
42 |
||
43 |
- start Visual Studio Command Prompt and run the following commands: |
|
44 |
||
45 |
cd "folder with the server source tree" |
|
46 |
patch --binary -p1 -i "path to the xtrabackup source tree"\patches\innodb55.patch |
|
47 |
||
48 |
Make sure the patch utility is in the PATH environment variable or |
|
49 |
specify the full path to it. Replace "patch" with the new name if you |
|
50 |
had to rename it on Vista/7 (see the notes above ). |
|
51 |
||
52 |
The --binary switch is required to make patch work with the Unix |
|
53 |
end-of-line format. |
|
54 |
||
55 |
3. Build the patched server source: |
|
56 |
||
57 |
Run the following commands from the server source folder: |
|
58 |
||
59 |
cmake . -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" -DENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE=ON -DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=ON -DWITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE=ON -DWITH_ZLIB=bundled -DWITH_EXTRA_CHARSETS=all |
|
60 |
||
61 |
devenv mysql.sln /build relwithdebinfo |
|
62 |
||
63 |
The -G argument should be the Visual Studio version that will be used to |
|
64 |
build. The complete list of available generators can be found in the |
|
65 |
CMake documentation. Make sure to add the "Win64" suffix when creating |
|
66 |
an x64 build. |
|
67 |
||
68 |
You may also need to replace "devenv" with "vcexpress" for Express editions |
|
69 |
of Visual Studio. |
|
70 |
||
71 |
4. Build XtraBackup: |
|
72 |
||
73 |
From the XtraBackup source folder: |
|
74 |
||
75 |
cmake . -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" |
|
76 |
-DMYSQL_ROOT_DIR="path to the server source folder built at step #3" |
|
77 |
||
78 |
devenv xtrabackup.sln /build relwithdebinfo |
|
79 |
||
80 |
The same comments about the -G argument and devenv from #3 apply here as well. |
|
81 |
||
82 |
Once the build completes xtrabackup.exe can be found in the |
|
83 |
relwithdebinfo subfolder of the XtraBackup source folder. |
