Thanks for the information. I am now running into some compiling issues --
Please Help!!
I downloaded both MinGW and Msys onto my Windows system (running XP). I
also downloaded and compiled OpenSSL source since I want to build Postgres
with OpenSSL enabled.
I've read the FAQ link below:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_MINGW.html and read the INSTALL
information.
When I run
'./configure --with-openssl --without-zlib --with-includes=c/mingw/include --with-libraries=c/mingw/lib',
I am getting an error that it cannot find the header file <openssl/ssl.h>,
even though it is located in C:\mingw\include\openssl\ssl.h. And two
warnings saying that the Include directory and Library directory do not
exist -- even though they do!:
$

Building with VC++ is not supported in version 8.1, you need to use
MingW. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_MINGW.html.

Hello Again-
I'm sorry to post this again; I was hoping someone would have
responded to my initial post over the weekend, but no such luck.
I am looking for instructions for building Postgres on Windows
using Visual
C++ (I'm using 2005 Express Edition).
If someone could please help me, I would be very grateful!!
Thanks in advance!
-Jeanna
