CMake，它在所有平台上用作构建框架。 CMake 可以从 http://www.cmake.org 下载。CMake, which is used as the build framework on all platforms. CMake can be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org.

一个好的 ma​​ke 程序。尽管某些平台带有自己的 ma​​ke 实现，但强烈建议您使用 GNU ma​​ke 3.75 或更高版本。它可能已经在您的系统上以 gmake 的形式提供。 GNU make 可从 http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ 获取。A good make program. Although some platforms come with their own make implementations, it is highly recommended that you use GNU make 3.75 or later. It may already be available on your system as gmake. GNU make is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/make/.

在类 Unix 系统（包括 Linux）上，您可以检查系统的 make 版本像这样：On Unix-like systems, including Linux, you can check your system's version of make like this:

$> make --version
GNU Make 4.2.1

MySQL 8.4 源代码允许使用 C++17 功能。为了在所有受支持的平台上启用必要级别的 C++17 支持，需要使用以下最低编译器版本：MySQL 8.4 source code permits use of C++17 features. To enable the necessary level of C++17 support across all supported platforms, the following minimum compiler versions apply:

在 Windows 上构建 MySQL 需要 Windows 版本 10 或更高版本。 （在最新版本的 Windows 上构建的 MySQL 二进制文件通常可以在旧版本上运行。）您可以通过在 Windows 命令提示符中执行 WMIC.exe os get version 来确定 Windows 版本。Building MySQL on Windows requires Windows version 10 or later. (MySQL binaries built on recent versions of Windows can generally be run on older versions.) You can determine the Windows version by executing WMIC.exe os get version in the Windows Command Prompt.

MySQL C API 需要 C++ 或 C99 编译器来编译。The MySQL C API requires a C++ or C99 compiler to compile.

需要 SSL 库来支持加密连接、随机数生成的熵以及其他与加密相关的操作。默认情况下，构建使用主机系统上安装的 OpenSSL 库。要显式指定库，请在调用 CMake 时使用 WITH_SSL 选项。有关更多信息，请参阅第 2.8.6 节“配置 SSL 库支持”。An SSL library is required for support of encrypted connections, entropy for random number generation, and other encryption-related operations. By default, the build uses the OpenSSL library installed on the host system. To specify the library explicitly, use the WITH_SSL option when you invoke CMake. For additional information, see Section 2.8.6, “Configuring SSL Library Support”.

构建 MySQL（但不使用它）需要 Boost C++ 库。在 MySQL 8.3 及更高版本中，这些库始终与 MySQL 源捆绑在一起。The Boost C++ libraries are required to build MySQL (but not to use it). In MySQL 8.3 and later, these libraries are always bundled with the MySQL source.

ncurses 库。The ncurses library.

足够的可用内存。如果您在编译大型源文件时遇到诸如内部编译器错误之类的构建错误，则可能是您的内存太少了。如果在虚拟机上编译，请尝试增加内存分配。Sufficient free memory. If you encounter build errors such as internal compiler error when compiling large source files, it may be that you have too little memory. If compiling on a virtual machine, try increasing the memory allocation.

如果您打算运行测试脚本，则需要 Perl。大多数类 Unix 系统都包含 Perl。对于 Windows，您可以使用 ActiveState Perl。或 Strawberry Perl。Perl is needed if you intend to run test scripts. Most Unix-like systems include Perl. For Windows, you can use ActiveState Perl. or Strawberry Perl.

对于 .tar.gz 压缩的 tar 文件：GNU gunzip 来解压缩发行版，并使用合理的 tar 来解压它。如果您的 tar 程序支持 z 选项，则它既可以解压缩文件，也可以解压文件。For a .tar.gz compressed tar file: GNU gunzip to uncompress the distribution and a reasonable tar to unpack it. If your tar program supports the z option, it can both uncompress and unpack the file.

GNU tar is known to work. The standard tar provided with some operating systems is not able to unpack the long file names in the MySQL distribution. You should download and install GNU tar, or if available, use a preinstalled version of GNU tar. Usually this is available as gnutar, gtar, or as tar within a GNU or Free Software directory, such as /usr/sfw/bin或者/usr/local/bin. GNU tar is available from https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/.GNU tar is known to work.

对于 .zip Zip 存档：WinZip 或其他可以读取 .zip 文件的工具。For a .zip Zip archive: WinZip or another tool that can read .zip files.

对于 .rpm RPM 包：用于构建发行版解包的 rpmbuild 程序For an .rpm RPM package: The rpmbuild program used to build the distribution unpacks it.

需要 Git 版本控制系统来获取开发源代码。 GitHub 帮助提供了在不同平台上下载和安装 Git 的说明。The Git revision control system is required to obtain the development source code. GitHub Help provides instructions for downloading and installing Git on different platforms.

bison 2.1 或更高版本，可从 http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/。 （不再支持版本 1。）尽可能使用最新版本的 bison；如果遇到问题，请升级到更高版本，而不是恢复到早期版本。bison 2.1 or later, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/. (Version 1 is no longer supported.) Use the latest version of bison where possible; if you experience problems, upgrade to a later version, rather than revert to an earlier one.

bison 可从 http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/ 获取。 Windows 版 bison 可以从 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm 下载。下载标有“完整包，不包括来源”的包。在 Windows 上，bison 的默认位置是 C:\Program Files\GnuWin32 目录。由于目录名称中存在空格，某些实用程序可能无法找到 bison。此外，如果路径中存在空格，Visual Studio 可能会挂起。您可以通过安装到不包含空格的目录（例如 C:\GnuWin32）来解决这些问题。bison is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/. bison for Windows can be downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm. Download the package labeled “Complete package, excluding sources”. On Windows, the default location for bison is the C:\Program Files\GnuWin32 directory. Some utilities may fail to find bison because of the space in the directory name. Also, Visual Studio may simply hang if there are spaces in the path. You can resolve these problems by installing into a directory that does not contain a space (for example C:\GnuWin32).

在 Solaris Express 上，除了 bison 之外，还必须安装 m4。 m4 可从 http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/ 获取。On Solaris Express, m4 must be installed in addition to bison. m4 is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/.
