Description:
Need a win/build-vs10.bat

Note bug #33907 which was requesting previous one.

How to repeat:
Try to compile with Visual Studio C++ Express 2010

Suggested fix:
Update the build scripts

So you basically need:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 10"

in that file?

btw, the README still refers to bk, not bzr...

No longer using bat files for building.

Ståle, thanks. What is the new method?

Roel,

You use cmake as Mattias has suggested above ( which I assume you already knew ...).

Ståle, so bug 33907 describes some issues which eventually resulted in a few lines batch file. Now there is no batch files at all anymore - so I wonder if there is a documented way to build that includes all needed steps?

Roel, the batch file that was added for that bug contains one line of code apart from the license text:

  cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008"

The actual changes to make the build work happened elsewhere. 

Note that a build-vs10.bat *was* added to MySQL 5.1 in 2011. It looks like the developer who added it wasn't aware of this bug report.

In newer versions of MySQL we've removed the batch files; they all only contained one line similar to the one above. You can run cmake without arguments for a list of generators, although only the more recent Visual Studio ones will work for MySQL.

You can also run cmake without specifying a generator; in this case, it will attempt to determine a suitable default.

Alternatively, you can use cmake-gui and select the generator from a drop-down menu.
