You're doomed :)

[Quoted] At least I can point you to the Windows build instructions for MariaDB:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/Building_MariaDB_on_Windows/

MySQL and MariaDB are (still) similar enough that this should work for both. I still don't expect that it will work 100% out of the box. I strongly recommend to run the test suite on your build.
