Open source software is exactly that: open source. That means you can
take the source and compile it for whichever OS you want, really. For
Windows things get a bit... involved and you might have to use something
like Cygwin, but it IS possible. You should probably get in contact with
David Techer as he would know how exactly to do this regarding pgRouting.
However, you should note that in general people in the open source
community aren't actively trying to discourage using Windows, we just
hate having to do anything with/for Windows and so it is rare to get
Windows binaries. That doesn't mean it's not possible. Porting an open
source application to a new OS take comparatively very little work to a
proprietary application. But it's still a heck of a lot of trouble to go
through for an OS (Windows) which we thoroughly dislike. :)

Hi Listers,
have been trying this on windows for a long time.
I was discouraged 'pl post on the list meant for it' etc..
Now it is a stright 'discourage'.
It again takes me back to a fundamental.. Is opensource and operating system
centric. Say in India, this is a big road block. Propagation of GIS may be
encouraged irrespective of OS used.

Hi Ishwari,
The links to download pg_routing 1.02 windows binaries
in the http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/ do not work. Is there an
alternate location where these files can be downloaded
from?
I'm afraid no. Windows binaries were maintained by David
Techer only.
Actually we don't recommend to install it on Windows.
Anton.
