According to your recommendation I try to use MSVC as described here http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/install-win32-full.html. I configure options in config.pl and run build. I don't build from CVS and I know from documentation that "Bison and Flex are required to build from CVS, but not required when building from a release file". But I get the error: Done building project "pgsql.sln" -- FAILED Build FAILED. Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error from "Running bison on src\interfaces\ecpg\preproc\preproc.y" 0 Warning(s) 1 Error(s) Time Elapsed 00:00:56:12 Maybe I should set some other options in configuration files? I didn't find any information about it in documentation... :( Regards, Marina. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
