[MonetDB-users] building client on Windows

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
