Description:        Borland C++ problem
Details:

Hello,
the compiling Borland C++ .lib and .dlls does not work. When I try to
compile this in agreement with instructions on your web page
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/install-win32.html it crashes with
error that the bcc32.mak could not recieve win32.obj and others (they are
not in Release folder and the make does not know how to build them). When I
downloaded older version, I thing 7.4.6, than after small fix It works (.lib
and .dll are created well) and run in Borland C++. But in new version it
does not work. Please check this out and send me any questions about that

With best regards

The Borland C++ port is more or less unmaintained at the moment. There
is nobody doing active development who has access to Borland C++. If you
want to figure out what needs to be changed you can probabyl track the
changes to the win32.mak file (for visual C++) in CVS and apply
corresponding changes to the Borland files.
