<p>The native Win32 port is built from source using MinGW tools.
|
|
There is also a precompiled binary installer called <span
|
|
style="font-style: italic;">pginstaller</span> which you can find at
|
|
from <a href="http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller">http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller</a>.
|
|
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.

<h2>Tools for Building Binaries<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p> 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 <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>
|
|

<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>

<li>SRA port of PostgreSQL to Win32 (unfortunately, this is not
|
|
publically available because the threaded portion is proprietary)</li>
