Re: Help! I can build 5.1.41 successfully in Win7, but run it into crashing

[Kent Boortz]

You try run the server from a source tree where you built the
server, unfortunately the server in that setup has to be told
where to find the data directory, language files etc. You can do
that by setting command line parameters, but not that easy.

I suggest you first try run some tests as suggested on the page

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-source-build-cmake.html

The mysql-test-run script will set up paths for language files etc
that the server needs.

Then you can install the server manually, as described on the same
page, see section starting with "It is also possible to install MySQL by copying directories and files directly:"
