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) > Maybe I should set some other options in configuration files?

I built PG 8.4.1 by MSVC as discribed in documentation (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/install-win32-full.html) without bison and flex. But it was a little bit tricky. I simply cleared the file pgbison.bat. It was empty and there was no attempts to call bison. So I escaped the error mentioned some lines upper. However it seems to me some regular way to do it should exist. But I don't see the way. I wonder if I really missed some important parameter in configuration? Or my method is correct? :) Thanks in advance, Marina. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
