you have to compile the code yourself, but thankfully not change anything.
here's my install checklist (for linux):
a.. download mysql-4.1.0-alpha.tar.gz
a.. tar zxvf mysql-4.1.0-alpha.tar.gz
a.. cd mysql-4.1.0-alpha
a.. CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentiumpro" CXX=gcc
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentiumpro -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtt
i"
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-charset=utf8 --enable-thread-sa
fe-client --enable-local-infile --enable-assembler --disable-shared
a.. make
a.. su
a.. make install
a.. ./scripts/mysql_install_db
a.. chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
a.. chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
a.. chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
a.. /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=root &
a.. exit
naturally, you should also change the root password, set it up for running
automatically, etc., etc., but this should get unicode working.
cheers!

Hi,
I have read that Unicode (UTF-8) was not enabled by default in the
mysql-4.1.0-alpha binaries. How can I enable it? What should I change in
the code to do so?
Thanks
Vincent
