Re: [Mingw-w64-public] basic question
2009/7/2 McWilliams, Steven steven_mcwilli...@bmc.com: Attached is the config.log file from the postgres configuration attempt. The accept() function is a socket library function. The config.log file shows it trying to compile a bunch of different test programs using accept with different function signatures. Note that when I configure postgres for compilation on a 32 bit windows platform using mingw (not mingw-w64) it uses the signature extern unsigned int PASCAL accept (unsigned int, struct sockaddr *, int *);.

Re: [Mingw-w64-public] basic question
Hmm. So the SOCKET typedef in winsock2.h has changed from 'unsigned int' in mingw to 'int *' in mingw64, and the postgres configure tool is confused by this. I had been assuming that postgres builds on 64 bit windows using mingw64 was something that was already working, however this may not be the case. I will ask on the postgres mailing list and see if anyone has done it yet.

Re: [Mingw-w64-public] basic question
It might be easier to use the win32 hosted toolchain (this will easily run on win32 or win64). Put it anywhere in your system, like /opt/win64. Then, just put /opt/win64/bin in your path, and use the binaries that are in there.

In the past I have used msys+mingw to compile postgres to run on 32 bit windows platforms. Now I would like to be able to compile postgres to run on 64 bit windows platforms, for which I am trying to use msys+mingw-w64. I downloaded the mingw-w64_x86-64_mingw32_4.4.0-1.zip file and unzipped it into c:\mingw_64 on my 64 bit windows platform. How do I hook it up for use with msys however? Normally I edit the msys /etc/fstab file and add the entry /c/mingw /mingw to do so, so my first assumption was to change the entry to /c/mingw_64 /mingw in this case, or perhaps c/mingw_64/mingw /mingw, however neither approach ends up with a version of gcc.exe in the msys path which works. Seems like I am missing something fundamental about how to use mingw-w64.
