There - is also a precompiled binary installer called pginstaller which you - can find at from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller. It is a - fully native build and uses no additional software like MinGW. The - ready-made installer files are available on the main PostgreSQL ftp - servers in the binary/win32 directory. - -Tools for Building Binaries - - The native Win32 port requires a 32-bit NT-based Microsoft operating - system, like Windows NT 4, Windows 2000/2003, or Windows XP. (NT 4 is - no longer supported since version 8.2) Earlier operating systems do - not have sufficient infrastructure. Building the port also requires - MinGW and Msys, which can be downloaded from http://www.mingw.org/. - MinGW is a Unix-like build environment for Microsoft operating - systems. Msys is a collection of unix tools required to run shell - scripts like configure. Neither is required to run the resulting - binaries; they are needed only for creating the binaries. Work is in - progress to support building using Visual C++ in a future version. - -Steps For Building Binaries - - * Download the nightly snapshot tarball from - ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev or checkout via CVS (you will - need bison, flex, and perl installed to build from CVS) - * Run configure (you might need to add the --without-zlib argument, - depending on whether you have installed zlib on MinGW) - * Run make install - - Note: it is suggested that you run psql under CMD.EXE., as the Msys - console has buffering issues. - If you make a change that you want to contribute, make a context diff - and send it to the mailing list. - -Resources - - There are several resources that helped us complete this port: - * PeerDirect port of PostgreSQL 7.2 to Win32 - * CONNX Win32 signal - * SRA port of PostgreSQL to Win32 (unfortunately, this is not - * pgAdmin3 CHM help files - |
