A.2. Downloading The Source Code

You can get the source code of the MySQL GUI tools from our public BitKeeper trees. To be able to access trees, you have to have BitKeeper installed. BitKeeper is freely available from Bitmover. To run under Windows, BitKeeper requires Cygwin. If, during the installation process, BitKeeper finds that either Cygwin is not installed, or that the Cygwin version is too old, it will suggest to download and install Cygwin (or a newer version). You may, however, install Cygwin before installing BitKeeper. You can get Cygwin from Cygwin.com.

Our public BitKeeper trees that contain the MySQL GUI tools source code can be retrieved by the following BitKeeper commands: 

     bk clone bk://mysql.bkbits.net/mysql-administrator mysql-administrator
     bk clone bk://mysql.bkbits.net/mysql-gui-common mysql-gui-common
     bk clone bk://mysql.bkbits.net/mysql-query-browser mysql-query-browser

You will need the mysql-gui-common tree regardless of which GUI tools you intend to build. The mysql-gui-common tree contains source and graphics files used for all MySQL GUI tools.

You can also download the source for the various GUI tools from the downloads page.
