22.4.3.2. Building MySQL Connector/C++ from Source on Windows

Note

The only compiler formally supported for Windows is Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 and above.

The basic steps for building the connector on Windows are the same as for Unix. It is important to use CMake 2.6.2 or newer to generate build files for your compiler and to invoke the compiler.

Note

On Windows, mysql_config is not present, so CMake attempts to retrieve the location of MySQL from the environment variable $ENV{MYSQL_DIR}. If MYSQL_DIR is not set, CMake then proceeds to check for MySQL in the following locations: $ENV{ProgramFiles}/MySQL/*/include, and $ENV{SystemDrive}/MySQL/*/include.

CMake makes it easy for you to try other compilers. However, you may experience compile warnings, compile errors or linking issues not detected by Visual Studio. Patches are gratefully accepted to fix issues with other compilers.

Consult the CMake manual or check cmake --help to find out which build systems are supported by your CMake version:

It is likely that your CMake binary supports more compilers, known by CMake as generators, than can actually be used to build MySQL Connector/C++. We have built the connector using the following generators:

Please see the building instructions for Unix, Solaris and Mac OS X for troubleshooting and configuration hints.

Use these steps to build the connector:

  1. Change location to the top-level directory of the source distribution:

    shell> cd C:\path_to_mysql_cpp
  2. Run CMake to generate build files for your generator:

  3. Use your compiler to build MySQL Connector/C++.

    Visual Studio - GUI

    Open the newly generated project files in the Visual Studio GUI or use a Visual Studio command line to build the driver. The project files contain a variety of different configurations, debug and nondebug versions among them.
