To answer the question, "what's left?" There is one patch I've submitted waiting for application (12/01/04), and I've got another patch almost ready (adds some missing functions, and fixes busted Makefiles etc) that, with Magnus's signal code, will give us a compilable, runnable, and somewhat buggy Win32 port. It will then be a matter of fixing things like: * installation directory issues (/usr/local/pgsql/bin won't work too well outside of the MingW environment :-) * general directory handling (ie. whitespaces in directory names; forward/backslash path canonicalization) * sync issues * any missing structs/items in shared memory * generally, running the test suite, and fixing whatever is busted (I'm at 41 tests passing now :-) I'm imagining we'll be in a position to be able to start on the above in as little as 2 weeks...
