Information about pyPgSQL development and use on Windows operating systems
==========================================================================

by Gerhard Hring (gerhard.haering@gmx.de)

1. Compiling PostgreSQL's libpq client library
==============================================

1.1 With Visual C++
-------------------

This is described in the chapter "Installation on Windows" in the PostgreSQL
documentation: in a shell, change into the src directory of your PostgreSQL
source tree and issue "nmake -f win32.mak".

1.2 With gcc
------------

Building with gcc isn't supported by the vanilla PostgreSQL sources at the
moment, but is still possible. First, you need to install a gcc capable of
creating Windows binaries. Install the appropriate packages from the mingw32
project or from Cygwin.

I maintain patches to add Makefiles for compiling libpq with mingw32. They're
available at http://pypgsql.sourceforge.net/misc/postgresql.html


2. Building pyPgSQL
===================

2.1 Environment settings
------------------------

- Set the PG_SRC environment variable to your PostgreSQL source tree, if you
  need to override the default setting of "../postgresql".

2.2 Adjusting setup.py
----------------------

If you're using gcc, you can skip this step.

For Visual C++, see the comments in the win32 section of setup.py, and
(un)comment the various lines appropriately.

2.3 Building
------------

Now that you've prepared everything, you can build pyPgSQL with
$ python setup.py build				# Visual C++
    or
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32	# gcc/mingw32

install it with
$ python setup.py install

and create an installer with
$ python setup.py bdist_wininst

Remarks:
- The "install" and bdist_wininst commands imply "build"
- If you have also installed Cygwin's Python, be sure to invoke the win32 Python.
