For me, grep finds src/include/pg_config.h.in: 836: #undef USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES src/include/pg_config.h.win32: 630: /* #undef USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES */ > It looks like it was commit 2169e42bef9db7e0bdd1bea00b81f44973ad83c8 > that enabled integer datetimes by default, but that commit seems to > not to have touched the Windows build scripts.

Any such build would find itself without a defined value of BLCKSZ, to mention just one of the settings that get appended by Solution.pm. It does look like we expect pg_config.h.win32 to be usable standalone for libpq-only Windows compiles, but it would never work for building the backend. (I dunno whether the libpq-only scripts still work at all or have bitrotted, but it's irrelevant for the question at hand.) > If not, what exactly is pg_config.h.win32 for and to what degree does it > need to be in sync with pg_config.h.in?

Yeah, I think the maintenance of pg_config.h.win32 has been a bit more haphazard than one could wish. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
