Thread: Build v8.1.4 with VC++ 2005
I tried to build postgresql from src using vc++ 2005 but was not able to go far before hitting errors related to inline function in the "wchar.c" file.
The source file I downloaded is "postgresql-8.1.4.tar.gz". I tried to build it by runing "nmake -f win32.mak" in the "src" directory.
Can v8.1.4 be build using VC++ 2005? If so, what is the build procedure and if any patches is required.
Thanks!

It's been applied, so it'll be in 8.2. Currently it's broken though, because of some changes during commit. I'll post a patch to fix this soon. //Magnus
