Hi,

trying to build postgres on Windows, I ran into a number of
problems not covered by the FAQs or the PostgreSQL 8.3.3
documentation:
  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/install-win32-full.html

In short, it's not been an easy experience so far:
- build errors with latest Visual Studio Express C++ 2008

Nobody ever said this was supported AFAIK. VC++ Express 2005 is the supported compiler so far.

- ok with VS Express 2005 but integration issues with Platform SDK

Right.

- issues locating the 14 required software packages:
  - no luck getting Bison 1.875 or 2.2 Windows binaries

bison 1.875 is available here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=22822

  - linkage errors with the latest ActivePerl/TCL libraries

Ugh.

What would be helpful would be a build log. something like: http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=mastodon&dt=2008-07-24%20010001&stg=make or an extract from it.

cheers

andrew
