You'll also need a MySQL source distribution. You can
get the source for released versions of MySQL from:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
Alternatively, you can package a source distribution
yourself from the latest BitKeeper developer source
tree. If you plan to do this, you must create the
package on a Unix system and then transfer it to your
Windows system. (The reason for this is that the initial
configuration scripts and some of the build steps work
only on Unix.) The BitKeeper approach thus requires:
- A system running Unix, or a Unix-like system such as Linux
- BitKeeper 3.0 installed on that system (you can obtain
BitKeeper from http://www.bitkeeper.com)
You'll also need a MySQL source distribution, which you
can obtain as described in section 2.

6. STARTING THE MYSQL SERVER FOR THE FIRST TIME
---------------------------------------------------------
First ensure to set or copy my.ini or my.cnf file to your
'data' directory that exists in the top-level directory or
point to existing 'data' directory.
The server built using the preceding instructions will
expect that the MySQL base directory and data directory
are C:\mysql and C:\mysql\data by default. If you want to
test your server using the source root directory and its
data directory as the base directory and data directory,
you will need to tell the server their pathnames. You can
either do this on the command line with the --basedir
and --data-dir options, or place appropriate options in
an option file (C:\my.cnf or the my.ini file in your
Windows directory). If you have an existing data directory
elsewhere that you want to use, you can specify its pathname
instead.
Now, start your server from the 'client_release' or
'client_debug' directory (depending on which server you
want to use), by following the instructions from:
Start your server from the 'client_release' or 'client_debug'
