The native Win32 port is built from source using MinGW tools.
There is also a precompiled binary installer called pginstaller which you can download
from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller.
! It is a fully native build and uses no additional software like MinGW.
The native Win32 port requires a 32-bit NT-based Microsoft
operating
system, like Windows NT 4, Windows 2000/2003, or Windows XP. (NT 4
! doesn't support tablespaces because it doesn't support the junction
! points needed for symlinks.) Earlier
operating systems do not have sufficient infrastructure. Building the
port also
requires MinGW and Msys, which can be downloaded from The native Win32 port is built from source using MinGW tools.
