[HACKERS] 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?

No, we are not there yet, but you can download Mingw and Msys to get started. --- Paul Ramsey wrote: > I have started playing with the pre7.4 code to see if I can compile a > win32 version with PostGIS support.

Yep, have done that... Configure even runs right through, but nothing after that. :/ P.

You should be able to compile, but not link the backend. --- Paul Ramsey wrote: > Yep, have done that... > Configure even runs right through, but nothing after that. :/ > P. > > Bruce Momjian wrote: > > No, we are not there yet, but you can download Mingw and Msys to get > > started. > > > > --- > > > > Paul Ramsey wrote: > > > >>I have started playing with the pre7.4 code to see if I can compile a > >>win32 version with PostGIS support.

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.

Re: [HACKERS] 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. --- Darko Prenosil wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "Bruce Momjian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Paul Ramsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 1:02 AM > Subject: Re: [HACKERS] Compiling Win32 > > > > > > You should be able to compile, but not link the backend. > > > > But it does not !

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? -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

It looks like "ac_config_links" does not work with win2000 (MinGW-2.0.0.3), because none of the : src/backend/port/dynloader.c src/backend/port/pg_sema.c src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c src/include/dynloader.h src/include/pg_config_os.h src/Makefile.port are not created(linked) Acording to autoconf manual ac_config_links: "Makes a symbolic link if possible, otherwise a hard link." After manualy linking files with : ln src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 src/Makefile.port ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.c src/backend/port/dynloader.c ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.h src/include/dynloader.h ln src/include/port/win32.h src/include/pg_config_os.h ln src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c src/backend/port/pg_sema.c ln src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c it compiles ! I asume that this is not error in postgresql makefiles, but some problem with minGW. I'll try to figure it out, maybe question to minGW list would help.
