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:

         --debug

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

         --embedded

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

         --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.

         --no-debug

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

         --no-embedded

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

         --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).
