<Para> |

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> |

<Para> |

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

directory, and type the command |
||||
<programlisting> |
||||
nmake /f win32.mak |
||||
</programlisting> |
||||
This assumes that you have <ProductName>Visual C++</ProductName> in your |

path. |

<Title>Installing the libraries</Title> |
||||
<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to ensure that a newer version of the library is not overwritten. |
||||
</Para> |
||||
<Para> |
||||
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. |
||||
</Para> |
||||
</Sect1> |

|
||||
<Sect1> |
||||
<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. |
