Re: Is there a way to build PostgreSQL client libraries with MinGW - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi,
I have successfully built 32bit PostgreSQL 9.0.2 using 32bit GCC 4.5.0
and MinGW packaged by tdm64-gcc-4.5.1 from
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download.

But for 64bit there is only 4.5.1 GCC, which is not stable now, and
the configure script does not pass.

You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file
'INSTALL' for installation instructions.
