Building MySql 5.7 with Visual Studio 2015

[Vadym Borovskiy]

Hello,

I have just checked out the source code of MySQL 5.7 from git and successfully generated a solution for VS2015 in x64 configuration. Building the solution produces almost 10K errors and more than 1K warnings.

Here are some examples.

3>c:\vb\tmp\mysql-server\include\my_global.h(675): error C2011: 'timespec': 'struct' type redefinition (compiling source file C:\vb\tmp\mysql-server\strings\ctype-cp932.c)

The compiler complains about 'timespec' structure. Looks like MySQL redefines it. There are other errors, but they all have to do with the 'timespec' structure.

Would you please confirm that MySQL builds on Windows 10 with VS2015? If yes, how can the errors be fixed?

Thank you!
