Hi,

IIRC, ^M is the EOL character on windows. latest cvs failed to compile
in my mingw env because src/backend/utils/Gen_dummy_probes.sed had
that character, i had to manually remove it to continue.

Besides, http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-11/msg00175.php
added the need of having perl to build on mingw. That wasn't the case
before, maybe we need a warning in the configure just as we do now
with bison and flex?

If there is a ^M in that file then your cvs program probably put it there. It is not present in my copy on mingw. Which cvs program are you using?

(EOL in text files on Windows is ^M^J in fact, not ^M alone.)

Perl has been required for a long time to build from CVS. It is used to build psql help. This is not a new requirement.

cheers

andrew
