MySQL for 64bit windows

Hi,
Since there is no MySQl available for 64bit windows (AMD Turiorn), So I am trying tobuild the code for 64 bit. Could any one help me out on "How to do the setup or any docs available for the same?"



Thanks in advance,
Saroj

 

Oh but there ARE official releases of Mysql 5.0, for both Windows and Unix 64bit versions.

 

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have gone thru the site, but what I feel is it is there for 64bit O.S other that Windows. I found It for all most all OS except Windows. Do you have any specific link is there?

Thanks,

Many users have installed the standard 5.0 distribution, on 64 bit AMD machines, with WIndows, and had great succes. THe only downside was that you got errors on REALLY big databases (like 4 GB or so).

And i think this thread solves your issues. Please read it

 

Hi,
Thanks again for the quick reply.
I have already installed mysql 4.1 in 64 bit Windows. But this is 32 bits. But as there is no 64bit available for windows, So I want to build thru code. I have download the source code for MySQL but I don't know how to build it. Could you please help me out?

Thanks,

Well, you're going to need a C++ compiler (MSVC++, Borland, Ming etc.) to start with, but if you don't know C/C++ and aren't highly familiar with the MySQL code base, you might as well stop before you start

 

Yes, I have Microsoft Visual studio .Net and Platform sdk for windows 2003 as the environment. I know C and MySQL as a user. Please let me know if there is any docs available for built the code?

This will solve my issues.
Thanks,

Why didn't I go to Google first? Here's the first result for "how to build MySQL on windows"- it looks promising. If that doesn't work, post your compiler errors here and we'll see what we can do.
