Hmmm, I tried with version=3.23.44 and building was fine (with this
little patch, maybe is no longer needed?).
The script does nothing special, it just calls ./configure with
some options which I figured out were possible to use on Cygwin.
Then it calls make and some other targets, so nothing special.
(I hacked it together because I was too lazy to type it in all the time,
I tried to finish the build about 20 times until it was ok for me).
Well, if it doesn't work now I cannot tell why, haven't tried to build
it in the last months. Maybe you can ask the MySql developers/users at
their own list.
There were some problems with sockets in version=3.23.44, and the server
was not running stable, but it runs.
I used the script for all the action including initdb, startdb and the
bench tests (require perl & modules installed):
initdb*) ( cd ${src} ;
make install 2>&1 | tee log.realinstall ;
mkdir -p ${localstatedir} ;
make init-db 2>&1 | tee log.init-db )
;;
startdb*) ( cd ${prefix} ;
${prefix}/bin/safe_mysqld & )
;;
bench*) ( cd ${prefix} ;
cd sql-bench ;
./run-all-tests )
;;
