The makefiles included in <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> 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.

<Para>

To build the libraries, change directory into the <filename>src</filename>
|
||
|
|
directory, and type the command
|
||
|
|
<programlisting>
|
||
|
|
nmake /f win32.mak

<Para>

|
The only part of the library to really 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 system). If this
|
||
|
|
file is installed using a setup program, it should be installed with
|
||
|
|
version checking using the VERSIONINFO 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to ensure that a newer version of the library is not overwritten.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> directories to the include
|
||
|
|
path in your compilers settings.

<Title>Using the libraries</Title>
|
||
|
|
<Para>
|
||
|
|
To use the libraries, you must add the <filename>libpqdll.lib</filename>
|
||
|
|
file to your project (in Visual C++, just right-click on the project and
|
||
|
|
chose to add it).
|
||
|
|
</Para>

|
|
<Para>
|
||
|
|
Once this is done, it should be possible to use the library just as you
|
||
|
|
would on a Unix platform.
