Oracle Corporation provides a set of binary distributions of MySQL. In addition to binaries provided in platform-specific package formats, we offer binary distributions for a number of platforms in the form of compressed tar files (.tar.gz files). See Section 2.8, “Standard MySQL Installation Using a Binary Distribution”. For Windows distributions, see Section 2.9, “Installing MySQL on Windows”.

If you want to compile a debug version of MySQL from a source distribution, you should add --with-debug or --with-debug=full to the configure command used to configure the distribution and remove any -fomit-frame-pointer options.
