Description:
Chapter 2.1 "Introduction".
-- I would like to add how to use "make" command on Windows for creation
of sql files.
Chapter 2.2 "Running 'make' command on Windows"
Windows operating system does not have "make" command in its CLI
(command line interface, "Windows PowerShell" or "cmd" by default) in
contrast to GNU/Linux. However you may use it by installing MinGW
(Minimalistic GNU for Windows) environment, with usage of MSYS2 CLI. To do
it, you have to install MSYS2 (GCC), which is described on the MinGW
official website (https://www.mingw-w64.org/getting-started/msys2/). It may
already be installed on your computer, if you were downloading C/C++
compilers from GNU (gcc or g++).
After installation of MSYS2, open "MSYS2 MINGW64" and run these commands:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-postgresql -- postgresql
packages for MinGW virtual environment.
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc" -- compiler for C
files for MinGW virtual environment.
In the same CLI (e.g. "MSYS2 MINGW64") run "make" as it was written before:
$ cd .../src/tutorial
$ make
From now on you may quit and use default CLI to start the tutorial.
