Re: [pgsql-hackers-win32] initdb - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

There will be a new version out there soon. When I am happy with it I will
let you know - right now I am dealing with 2 issues - setlocale(LC_ALL,"")
doesn't read from the environment on Windows, and the program is possibly
not picking up the buffers/connections properly.

Please don't put the version currently out there in CVS - the files won't
even be the same - initdb-scripts.h will disappear and there will be a new
file called "system_views.sql".

There is no urgency about this - until we have a working postgres executable
on Windows initdb is useless anyway. My aim has been to have initdb ready
when postgres is ready. Of course, I test against Unix all the time to make
sure nothing gets broken.

cheers
