I cannot get gmake to work for the postgresql-8.1.4 source code on Windows
XP.
I created MinGW with the MinGW 5.0.3.exe (both current & latest) and MySyS
1.0.10.
Gmake was not available so I used the included mysys make – GNU version 79.
After succeeding with “./configure –without-zlib” it then failed on “make”
as follows:
rt/win32" -c -o fseeko.o fseeko.c
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing
-I../../src/port -DFRONTEND -I../../src/include -I./src/include/port/win32
-DEXEC_BACKEND "-I../../src/include/port/win32" -c -o getrusage.o
getrusage.c

I tracked down zlib but never did figure out where to place it.
I retried using the guide in libpqxx which said: extract, compile & install
zlib by ./configure –prefix=c:/mingw/local && make && make && make install
– this failed.
I then tried ./configure –prefix=c:/mingw/local
–with-includes=c:/mingw/local/include –with-libs=c:/mingw/local/lib make &&
make install but it had an issue with make.
