building Mysql on win XP Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0

[deepakd]

I will explain...
I downloaded "mysql-5.0.45-win-src.tar.gz" from Mysql download area.I tried to built Mysql.sln inside that,but i am getting errors(about 58) like

Error 149 fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '..\zlib\releas e\zlib.lib' mysql_upgrade

Error 319 error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Custom Build Step" mysqld

Error 92 error C3163: '_vsnprintf': attributes inconsistent with previous declaration C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\ stdio.h 358

Error 262 error LNK2005: ___sbh_alloc_ne w_group already defined in LIBCMT.lib(sbhe ap.obj) LIBCMTD.lib[/QUOTE]

Can you help me out?

This looks like a question for the MySQL folks. Have you asked them about this?

Plus, do you really want to build MySQL versus just install the binary?
