<chapter id="install-win32">
<title>Installation on Win32</title>
<abstract>
<para>
Build and installation instructions for <productname>Postgres</productname>
v6.4 client libraries on Win32.
</para>
</abstract>
<sect1 id="win32-install-build">
<title>Building the libraries</title>
<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 commands
<programlisting>
copy include\config.h.win32 include\config.h
nmake /f win32.mak
</programlisting>
This assumes that you have <productname>Visual C++</productname> in your
path.
</para>
<para>
The following files will be built:
<itemizedlist spacing="compact" mark="bullet">
<listitem>
<para>
<filename>interfaces\libpq\Release\libpq.dll</filename>
- The dynamically linkable frontend library
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<filename>interfaces\libpq\Release\libpqdll.lib</filename>
- Import library to link your program to libpq.dll
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<filename>interfaces\libpq\Release\libpq.lib</filename> - Static library version of the frontend library
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<filename>bin\psql\Release\psql.exe</filename> - The <productname>Postgresql</productname> interactive SQL monitor
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="win32-install-install">
<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to ensure that a newer version of the library is not overwritten.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 id="win32-install-use">
<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.
