(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 <a - href="http://www.mingw.org/">http://www.mingw.org/</a>. MinGW is -a Unix-like build environment for Microsoft operating systems. -Msys is a collection of unix tools required to run shell scripts like <i>configure. -</i>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.<br> -</p> -<h2>Steps For Building Binaries<br> -</h2> -<ul> - <li>Download the nightly snapshot tarball from <a - href="ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev">ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev</a> -or checkout via CVS (you will need <i>bison, flex,</i> and <i>perl</i> -installed to build from CVS)<br> - </li> - <li>Run <i>configure</i> (you might need to add the --without-zlib -argument, depending on whether you have installed <span - style="font-style: italic;">zlib - </span>on MinGW)</li> - <li>Run <i>make install</i></li> -</ul> -Note: it is suggested that you run <i>psql</i> under <i>CMD.EXE.</i>, -as the Msys console has buffering issues.<br> -<br> -If you make a change that you want to contribute, make a context diff -and send -it to the mailing list. <br> -<h2>Resources</h2> -There are several resources that helped us complete this port:<br> -<ul> - <li>PeerDirect port of PostgreSQL 7.2 to Win32 (<a - href="ftp://momjian.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/win32/PeerDirect">ftp://momjian.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/win32/PeerDirect</a>)</li> - <li>CONNX Win32 signal code(<a - href="ftp://momjian.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/win32/CONNX">ftp://momjian.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/win32/CONNX</a>)</li> - <li>SRA port of PostgreSQL to Win32 (unfortunately, this is not -publically available because the threaded portion is proprietary)</li> - <li>CHM help files (<a - href="http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/help/en_US/pgadmin3.chm">http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/help/en_US/pgadmin3.chm</a>)</li> -</ul> -</body> -</html> |
