NAME
       make_win_bin_dist - package MySQL distribution as ZIP archive

SYNOPSIS
       make_win_bin_dist [options] package_basename [copy_def ...]

DESCRIPTION
       This script is used on Windows after building a MySQL distribution
       from source to create executable programs. It packages the binaries
       and support files into a ZIP archive that can be unpacked at the
       location where you want to install MySQL.

       make_win_bin_dist is a shell script, so you must have Cygwin installed
       to use it.

       This program’s use is subject to change. Currently, you invoke it as
       follows from the root directory of your source distribution:

	  shell> make_win_bin_dist [options] package_basename [copy_def ...]

       The package_basename argument provides the basename for the resulting
       ZIP archive. This name will be the name of the directory that results
       from unpacking the archive.

       Because you might want to include files of directories from other
       builds, you can instruct this script do copy them in for you, via
       copy_def arguments, which of which is of the form
       relative_dest_name=source_name.

       Example:

	  bin/mysqld-max.exe=../my-max-build/sql/release/mysqld.exe

       If you specify a directory, the entire directory will be copied.

       make_win_bin_dist understands the following options:

       ·  --debug

	  Pack the debug binaries and produce an error if they were not
	  built.

       ·  --embedded

	  Pack the embedded server and produce an error if it was not built.
	  The default is to pack it if it was built.

       ·  --exe-suffix=suffix

	  Add a suffix to the basename of the mysql binary. For example, a
	  suffix of -abc produces a binary named mysqld-abc.exe.

       ·  --no-debug

	  Don’t pack the debug binaries even if they were built.

       ·  --no-embedded

	  Don’t pack the embedded server even if it was built.

       ·  --only-debug

	  Use this option when the target for this build was Debug, and you
	  just want to replace the normal binaries with debug versions (that
	  is, do not use separate debug directories).
