But it does not ! At least not with current snapshot.

src/Makefile.global:276: src/Makefile.port: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `src/Makefile.port'.  Stop.

I can see the line:

    config.status: linking ./src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 to
src/Makefile.port

when running configure, but Makefile.port is not created !
I'll try to figure out what hapened (Maybe I am doing something wrong).
Also I would like to know does it have any sense to try it to compile it
now, or we are waiting some big patch from someone. Maybe I can help in some
part ? (have Win2000)

Regards !

Re: Compiling Win32
I have started playing with the pre7.4 code to see if I can compile a 
win32 version with PostGIS support. So far, finding it a little hard. Is 
there a wee guide to compiling 7.4 native win32 around?
Thanks,
Paul

No, we are not there yet, but you can download Mingw and Msys to get
started.

You should be able to compile, but not link the backend.

Configure even runs right through, but nothing after that. :/

Re: Compiling Win32

I have not tested the Win32 compile in a few weeks, so it is possible it
is broken at this point.  It will not run because we need exec()
handling that Jan is working on, and signal stuff.

I was going to report the Win32 status this week.  As you know, I had to
leave Win32 to catch up on email.  The two big items left are exec()
handlling and signals.  If I can get those in by July 1, I can continue
cleanup during beta and perhaps have a patch that people can test for
Win32 later in the summer.

Hi Jan,

Do you have an ETA for this?

:-)

Ok, how does that leave our status for the next release of PostgreSQL?

Wish I knew --- I am realizing that I have trouble doing major
development and keeping up with patches/email.

Heh Heh Heh

That's what it was like when I started doing the Techdocs site.  Had to 
shelve my plans for doing coding, purely because 16 hours a days still 
didn't leave any time for it.

:(

Worth looking into delegating some of your workload?

The problem is that all the hard stuff is left.  Does someone want to
try exec() and signal handling for Win32?
