Building on Windows-amd64 (Windows OS)

✅ Compile for windows-amd64

Compiling SurrealDB with windows OS requires Administrator priveledge!

⚠Tested on Windows 10 build 22H2(19044.2006)

1. Install LLVM with Clang 👉 Download Here look for something end with amd64.exe

2. Install MYSYS2 👉 Follow instructions on their website

3. Add Symlinks for llvm

   New-Item -Path "C:\Program Files\LLVM\x86_64-w64-mingw32" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value "C:\msys64\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32"
   New-Item -Path "C:\Program Files\LLVM\i686-w64-mingw32" -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value "C:\msys64\mingw64\i686-w64-mingw32"
   

4. Add GCC binary path to environment

   $PATH += "C:\msys64\mingw64\bin"
   $PATH += "C:\msys64\mingw32\bin"
   $CC_x86_64_pc_windows_gnu = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
   $CC_i686_pc_windows_gnu = "i686-w64-mingw32-gcc"
   $HOST_CC = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
   

5. Install patch GNU Util Go to GNUWin32 page for patch and install the patch binaries.

   For some bizzare reasons, patch.exe needs elevated priviledge to be invoked during compilation

   Add directory containing the patch.exe to your PATH

6. Run cargo in an elevated ⚠ shell

   Running cargo build in an elevated shell will now build the SurrealDB in Windows OS.

Building using the Nix package manager

SurrealDB can be built using the Nix package manager.
