Ok, re "building with the win32 configuration" ... that sounds like just the thing I should know about. All I've done
isdownloaded and installed the 1-click installer for Windows from
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows... so while I'm sure it knows it's running on Win32, is
theresome other configuration change I should make for dev purposes to indicate that it's "the win32 configuration"? Or
does"building with the win32 configuration" refer to those who are building the server from source, or something?
Thanks
Kevin

NFI why Pg for win32 doesn't bundle a copy of the libintl it was built
against. I should poke the EDB guys about it, actually.

Those I wouldn't expect to be included if you're building for win32.
Are you sure you're building with the win32 configuration?

This would suggest that the macros that insert appropriate
__declspec(dllimport) and __declspec(dllexport) attributes aren't being
triggered - so again, it makes me wonder if Pg knows it's building for
win32.
