This issue was fixed in 5.7.20 as referenced in bug #87137. <https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=87137>

Description: I attempted to perform a client-only build of MySQL 5.7.19 using the build flag -DWITHOUT_SERVER=ON. The build failed when attempting to compile mysys/my_symlink.c with the error "MY_STAT undeclared in function my_is_same_file. The function my_is_same_file is new in my_symlink.c in version 5.7.19. The function makes reference to MY_STAT, but the appropriate include statement does not exist to define MY_STAT. I don't know why, but this only impacted the client-only build and not the full server build. By adding the following line to the top of my_symlink.c, the build completed successfully: #include "my_dir.h" Relevant lines in my_symlink.c: 197: int my_is_same_file(...) 198: { 199: MY_STAT stat_buf; How to repeat: Using the source from mysql-boost-5.7.19.tar.gz, attempt to compile using the flag -DWITHOUT_SERVER=ON after making the changes to CMakeLists.txt that I submitted in bug 87348 <https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=87348>. Suggested fix: Add the following include line to mysys/my_symlink.c: #include "my_dir.h"
