<title>Client-Only Installation on <productname>Windows</productname></title>
<indexterm>
<primary>installation</primary>
<secondary>on Windows</secondary>
</indexterm>
<para>
Although a complete <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> installation
for <productname>Windows</> can only be built using
<productname>MinGW</productname> or
<productname>Cygwin</productname>, the C client library
(<application>libpq</application>) and the interactive terminal
(<application>psql</application>) can be compiled using other Windows
tool sets. Makefiles are included in the source distribution for
<productname>Microsoft Visual C++</productname> and
<productname>Borland C++</productname>. It should be possible to
compile the libraries manually for other configurations.
</para>
<tip>
<para>
Using <productname>MinGW</productname> or
<productname>Cygwin</productname> is preferred. If using one of
those tool sets, see <xref linkend="installation">.
</para>
</tip>
<para>
To build everything that you can on <productname>Windows</productname>
using <productname>Microsoft Visual C++</productname>, change into the
<filename>src</filename> directory and type the command
<screen>
<userinput>nmake /f win32.mak</userinput>
</screen>
This assumes that you have <productname>Visual C++</productname> in
your path.
</para>
<para>
To build everything using <productname>Borland
C++</productname>, change into the <filename>src</filename> directory
and type the command
<screen>
<userinput>make -DCFG=Release /f bcc32.mak</userinput>
</screen>
</para>
<para>
The following files will be built:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>interfaces\libpq\Release\libpq.dll</filename></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The dynamically linkable frontend library
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>interfaces\libpq\Release\libpqdll.lib</filename></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Import library to link your programs to <filename>libpq.dll</filename>
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>interfaces\libpq\Release\libpq.lib</filename></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Static version of the frontend library
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><filename>bin\psql\Release\psql.exe</filename></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> interactive terminal
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<para>
The only file that really needs to 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/ME
system). If this file is installed using a setup program, it should
be installed with version checking using the
<symbol>VERSIONINFO</symbol> 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 <application>libpq</application>
on this machine, you will have to add the
<filename>src\include</filename> and
<filename>src\interfaces\libpq</filename> subdirectories of the source
tree to the include path in your compiler's settings.
</para>
<para>
To use the library, you must add the
<filename>libpqdll.lib</filename> file to your project. (In Visual
C++, just right-click on the project and choose to add it.)
