Thread: UUID-OSSP for windows.
Where can I get uuid-ossp for windows? Also where can I get citext for windows. These two are missing from the windows installer. Thanks.

Basically, windows has it's own uuid, and there's a discussion on how to exploit that instead of importing uuid-ossp.

I enabled it to offer it after the joint work of one time with Mr. Ralf S.Engelschall. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-02/msg00844.php http://lists.pgfoundry.org/pipermail/pginstaller-devel/2008-February/001056.html PostgreSQL is required for compile.(It is not regular.) http://winpg.jp/~saito/pg_work/OSSP_win32/msvc/ However, It is publicly released as MinGW+GCC. http://winpg.jp/~saito/pg_work/OSSP_win32/ Then, It is now exposed to verification. I want to include in the next release. Thanks! Regards, Hiroshi Saito
