Compiling MySQL binary?

Hello, I'm interested in compiling my own MySQL binaries but I'm not quite sure of what all I will need to do so. From what I understand, thus far, I will need a MySQL source package and a compiler. Is there anything else I will need to complete this task and does anyone have a recommendation

Binary Compilers? (was: Compiling MySQL binary?)

Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting this sinking feeling I just asked another google question! :-/ How about I simplify my request to any recommendations for compiler(s) that would be suitable to compile Binaries for Mac OS X's Darwin 6.1 and/or... Windows XP... Thank you! Brian -- Brian S.
