Thread: NT port
Just a quick question. What is the current state of PostgreSQL on Windows NT (yeuch). I'm asking, because I'm pushing PostgreSQL here, and their eye's lit up as soon as they heared that someone has got it running (even partially helps). Anyhow, I'm not too worried, as I'll have it running under Unix (Linux or Solaris), but I need to convince them. -- Peter Mount, IT Section petermount@it.maidstone.gov.uk Anything I write here are my own views, and cannot be taken as being the official words of Maidstone Borough Council

To the best of my knowledge, the last report oabout it with NT was that it compiled out of the box using the Cygwin development package... If someone wants to build an NT binary package up of v6.4 to put on the WWW/FTP server, I will be quite happy to do so...same goes for any other platform, actually...just make sure you include a README.<platform> file so that ppl have some sort of base instructions...
