If you want to build the server from source on Windows, there are two ways: 1. Using VC Project: Download the VC project(s)(the above one) and extract the files to a desired folder. Once extracted, load the 'mysql' workspace to VC Editor and start building. If you encounter any problems, just post the error message, then we can guide you how to proceed further. 2. Using cygwin Environment: Through this is not a recommended way, you can give a try. Download the linux source and extract it to a folder and start building it in the normal way by configuring or by using any of the scripts from BUILD/ which suites your needs. We don't recommend the build process on Windows except if you want to debug.
