I'm on Windows and I have most common build chains. Looks like you're supporting VS and using cmake. What versions of these are required? Looks like I'm running MySQL 5.7 and already have Connector/C installed, albeit an older version (6.x). I got MySQL running when I first came to this forum and started fiddling with 137. I have the latest Python and git installed.
EDIT: Install directions are either slightly vague or incorrect.
- After downloading and installing the above applications, to compile the servers run the following commands:
-
- git submodule update --init --recursive
- ./ci/msvc_install.bat
- cd build
- cmake ..
- cmake --build . --config Release
It does not state which directory to run git in. Doing it in the root folder of the archive fails. Furthermore, there was no "ci" subdirectory anywhere, though I did find that batch file in cmake/scripts. It actually closed the console window I was running it from for some reason. Cmake failed to build anything. As expected, pthreads was also missing, which I'm pretty used to when dealing with cross-platform builds.
