Hi group, I've installed the win32 binary version of the 8.0beta1 using the PGInstaller (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller). I've also downloaded the source to compile on our linux boxes and that is fine. The problem I've got now is building binaries of the contrib folder for win32 - specifically the fuzzystrmatch and tsearch2 bits - but I'm sure the rest would be useful.
I've installed MinGW and had a bash at compiling in windows (XP Pro) but get: C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Desktop\postgresql-8.0.0beta1>sh ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32 checking which template to use... win32 checking whether to build with 64-bit integer date/time support... no checking whether NLS is wanted... no checking for default port number... 5432 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Desktop\postgresql-8.0.0beta1> So - can anyone provide a walk-though to building on win32 (including which bits of MinGW atc to download & install, any gotchas etc) or shorter term a set of the binary dlls from a successful build of the contrib folder which I can drop into the PGInstaller version? Thanks in advance, and thanks to all who contributed to the 8.0.0 release - I'm looking forward to using it in anger :-) -- Tom Hebbron www.hebbron.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
