I’m building from source on Windows XP. In the manual for 9.0, chapter 15.5 has a section about using make check for regression testing.
make check bombs out when it tries to start the postmaster.
The manual mentions “This won’t work as root; do it as an unprivileged user.” -- could this be why the postmaster won’t start? Frankly I don’t really know what this caveat is instructing me to do or avoid. Much obliged for any suggestions.
Thanks,
John
