Thread: Problem building from source on Windows

Hi,

I am trying to build Postgres (8.3.5) from source on Windows XP using Visual Studio 2005 as per the instructions in the
PostgreSQLdocumentation. The problem is that the uuild.lib and uuid.h files are not tracable though I have done the
requisitedownloads from uuid and ossp link specified in the documentation.
 

Please help.

Regards
Swati

Ooops, I forgot adjustment completely to Ralf-san. Although Ralf-san understood
at the time, he demanded to wait very busily.... sorry.

This is build the MinGW + gcc.
http://winpg.jp/~saito/pg_work/OSSP_win32/
as for MS-VC++,
