MySQL 8.0.35 GCC library

[thockar]

I compiled mysql libraries 8.0.35 using gcc version 11.3.0 (Rev1, Built by MSYS2 project)
It makes it possible to install the latest DBD::mysql driver 5.xxx, which requires a mysqllib version 8.x.x.
It requires openssl 3.x.x (is compiled using 3.0.9) and an installed msvcr100.dll

You are free to implement it in to Strawberry Perl.

Thanks @thockar

Can you provide the build steps (if non-standard) and any patches that were applied?

[thockar]

I've build 8.0.35 , 8.1.0 and 8.2.0 .
8.0.35 and 8.2.0 are working with all DBD::mysql versions (4.x and 5.x). 8.1.0 was released before 8.0.35 and does'nt contain the fix for the handshake error in connections to server-versions < 5.5.
There are too many tweaks required to build (only) the mysql libraries. How ever I'll try to provide a diff file.

• special installations of some MSYS2 packages (manual installation)
• include the msvcr100 in the default gcc build definitions
• some cmake files require changes (skip boost, correctly detect SSL-Lib, build dynamic libs ....)
• several header files need changes (in various locations) - fix MSVC special instructions (for example __try ....except...) and wrong #include
• fix some preprocessor definitions which are accepted by MSVC but not by GCC
• several cc files need changes for the same reasons

Most of the changes are made without checking for available or missing (pre)compiler definitions - so they will only work in the build environment they were made for.

The mysql code uses definitions and instructions which are not provided by any STD GCC library (c, c++) - they require a msvc-runtime dll 90 or higher. I used the msvcr100, which should be available for every Windows Vista-Kernel or higher (I'm not sure about WinXP.x64).

I've attached the 8.2.0 zip.

[thockar]

here are some files which will help you to build the mysql 8.2.0 libs

good luck

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can integrate the steps with the build system.

It requires openssl 3.x.x (is compiled using 3.0.9)

How do install this on a Windows server?

[thockar]

openssl 3.0.9 was build using MSYS2/mingw64

@thockar did you submit bug reports to Oracle MySQL for the changes you had to make to the cmake files etc?

[thockar]

No, because GCC is official not supported by MySQL and the build environment I used, is only changed to build the MySQL libraries with/for GCC.
