FYI: I was able to combine the instructions for MariaDB with some Windows-specific notes that I was able to locate on the MySQL documentation pages for installing MySQL, and I was able to build MySQL 5.7 from the source copioed from GitHub.

Axel, MySQL and MariaDB _have_ diverged enough that the MariaDB instructions needed a lot of adjustment, but it helped me find the notes for building on Windows.

[Quoted] However, my build is not opening the port specified in the my.ini configuration file (checked using netstat -an on host). Everything else _appears_ to be fine, but I can't connect to the running service to verify that, so I can't actually run any tests.

So, currently stuck (and still doomed :D ).
