Hi,

I want to construct a Monet client app in C on Windows but find very sparse info on this. I took notice of the fact that Windows is apparently not exactly Monet's main target platform. Still, I tried using nmake on the client sources but ran into errors involving missing (or incorrectly placed) files (see below). Do I really have to go through the complete 'Experts > Windows Installation', i.e. building MonetDB server itself?

regards, Sander

Building from the packaged binary distribution on Windows is not supported. Not all files needed for building are included, and some files are not installed in the places that a build would expect them. I fear you will have to build from source. Having said that, I personally (and I maintain the Windows port) have not tried building from the packaged source distribution on Windows, but only from sources checked out with CVS. -- Sjoerd Mullender
