MAKE_WIN_BIN_DIST(1)  MySQL Database System  MAKE_WIN_BIN_DIST(1)



NAME
       make_win_bin_dist - package MySQL distribution as ZIP
       archive

SYNOPSIS
       make_win_bin_dist [options] package_basename [copy_def
                                                                   ...]

DESCRIPTION
       This script is used on Windows after building a MySQL
       distribution from source to create executable programs. It
       packages the binaries and support files into a ZIP archive
       that can be unpacked at the location where you want to
       install MySQL.

       make_win_bin_dist is a shell script, so you must have
       Cygwin installed to use it.

       This program's use is subject to change. Currently, you
       invoke it as follows from the root directory of your
       source distribution:

          shell> make_win_bin_dist [options] package_basename [copy_def ...]

       The package_basename argument provides the basename for
       the resulting ZIP archive. This name will be the name of
       the directory that results from unpacking the archive.

       Because you might want to include files of directories
       from other builds, you can instruct this script do copy
       them in for you, via copy_def arguments, which of which is
       of the form relative_dest_name=source_name.

       Example:

          bin/mysqld-max.exe=../my-max-build/sql/release/mysqld.exe

       If you specify a directory, the entire directory will be
       copied.

       make_win_bin_dist understands the following options:

       o  --debug

          Pack the debug binaries and produce an error if they
          were not built.

       o  --embedded

          Pack the embedded server and produce an error if it was
          not built. The default is to pack it if it was built.

       o  --exe-suffix=suffix

          Add a suffix to the basename of the mysql binary. For
          example, a suffix of -abc produces a binary named
          mysqld-abc.exe.

       o  --no-debug

          Don't pack the debug binaries even if they were built.

       o  --no-embedded

          Don't pack the embedded server even if it was built.

       o  --only-debug

          Use this option when the target for this build was
          Debug, and you just want to replace the normal binaries
          with debug versions (that is, do not use separate debug
          directories).
