Sun Microsystems, Inc. provides a set of binary distributions
of MySQL. In addition to binaries provided in
platform-specific package formats, we offer binary
distributions for a number of platforms in the form of
compressed tar files
(.tar.gz files). See
Section 2.2, “Standard MySQL Installation Using a Binary Distribution”. For Windows
distributions, see Section 2.3, “Installing MySQL on Windows”.
If you want to compile a debug version of MySQL from a source
distribution, you should add
--with-debug or
--with-debug=full to the
configure command used to configure the
distribution and remove any
-fomit-frame-pointer options.
