Compiling and installing psycopg
|
|
********************************
|
|
|
|
While psycopg 1.x used autoconf for its build process psycopg 2 switched to
|
|
the more pythoning setup.py. Currently both psycopg's author and distutils
|
|
have some limitations so the file setup.cfg is almost unused and most build
|
|
options are hidden in setup.py. Before building psycopg look at setup.cfg file
|
|
and change any settings to follow your system (or taste); then:
|
|
|
|
python setup.py build
|
|
|
|
to build in the local directory; and:
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
to install system-wide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling under Windows with mingw32
|
|
************************************
|
|
|
|
You can compile psycopg under Windows platform with mingw32 compiler. The
|
|
software required is:
|
|
|
|
* MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/). You also get MinGW installed by installing
|
|
Dev-C++ IDE (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html);
|
|
|
|
* either:
|
|
* a binary PostgreSQL installation with include and libary files, at least
|
|
release 8.0 (http://www.postgresql.org/download/);
|
|
* PostgreSQL sources. You will need to compile PostgreSQL, which also
|
|
requires MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml) and Flex and Bison
|
|
packages (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html).
|
|
|
|
I assume all the software installed in the standard way. gcc compiler directory
|
|
should be in your path.
|
|
|
|
Steps required to package your own version of psycopg:
|
|
|
|
1. if building from PostgreSQL binaries:
|
|
|
|
1.1. create the file libpqdll.a (you should already know how to build
|
|
Python extensions with mingw: see
|
|
http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/mingw32/Notes.html for
|
|
details):
|
|
|
|
1.1.1. cd C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\lib
|
|
|
|
1.1.2. pexports C:\WINNT\system32\libpq.dll > libpqdll.def
|
|
|
|
1.1.3. dlltool --dllname libpq.dll --def libpqdll.def \
|
|
--output-lib libpqdll.a
|
|
|
|
2. else, if building from PostgreSQL source:
|
|
|
|
2.1. compile it:
|
|
|
|
2.1.1. unpack postgresql source (ex. in c:\)
|
|
|
|
2.1.2. run MSYS
|
|
|
|
2.1.3. cd /c/postgresql-8.0
|
|
|
|
2.1.4. ./configure --without-zlib
|
|
|
|
2.1.5. make
|
|
|
|
2.2. create the file libpqdll.a (dlltool is part of MinGW):
|
|
|
|
2.2.1. cd postgresql-8.0\src\interfaces\libpq
|
|
|
|
2.2.2. dlltool --dllname libpq.dll --def libpqdll.def \
|
|
--output-lib libpqdll.a
|
|
|
|
3. build psycopg:
|
|
|
|
3.1. python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32 install
