Although <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is written for
|

Unix-like operating systems, the C client library
|
||||
(<application>libpq</application>) and the interactive terminal
|
||||
(<application>psql</application>) can be compiled natively under
|
||||
Windows. The makefiles included in the source distribution are
|
||||
written for <productname>Microsoft Visual C++</productname> and will
|
||||
probably not work with other systems. It should be possible to
|
||||
compile the libaries manually in other cases.

If you are using Windows NT/2000 you can build and use all of

<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> <quote>the Unix way</quote>
|

if you install the <productname>Cygwin</productname> toolkit first.

To build the libraries, change directory into the <filename>src</filename>

directory, and type the commands

copy include\config.h.win32 include\config.h

nmake /f win32.mak

The only file that really needs to be installed is the
|
||||
<filename>libpq.dll</filename> library. This file should in most
|
||||
cases be placed in the <filename>WINNT\SYSTEM32</filename> directory
|
||||
(or in <filename>WINDOWS\SYSTEM</filename> on a Windows 95/98/ME
|
||||
system). If this file is installed using a setup program, it should
|
||||
be installed with version checking using the
|
||||
<symbol>VERSIONINFO</symbol> resource included in the file, to
|
||||
ensure that a newer version of the library is not overwritten.

If you plan to do development using libpq on this machine, you will

have to add the <filename>src\include</filename> and

<filename>src\interfaces\libpq</filename> subdirectories of the
|

source tree to the include path in your compilers settings.

To use the libraries, you must add the

C++, just right-click on the project and chose to add it.)
