| 1 | +This directory contains the tools required to build PostgreSQL using |
| 2 | +Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Note that PostgreSQL builds natively with Visual C++. You must therefore |
| 6 | +make sure that you do *NOT* have any tools from Cygwin or Mingw present |
| 7 | +in the system PATH. Also, make sure you don't have any Cygwin/Mingw |
| 8 | +environment variables "leaking" through. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +First, edit config.pl to reflect what "configure options" you want set. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Then, to build all of PostgreSQL in debug configuration, run the command |
| 13 | +build |
| 14 | +from a Visual Studio Command Prompt (to get all environment |
| 15 | +variables set correctly). |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +To build all of PostgreSQL in release configuration, run |
| 18 | +build RELEASE |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +To build just a single project, for example psql, run |
| 21 | +build psql |
| 22 | +or |
| 23 | +build RELEASE psql |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + |
