I can't get "nmake /f win32.mak" to execute properly. I'm running under Windows 2000 Professional with Microsoft Visual Studio.NET (2002).

I am getting the following output when I run the command in the interfaces\libpq directory.

Building the Win32 static library...

if not exist ".\Release/" mkdir ".\Release"
Parse Error 9

This looks like your PATH may be incorrect. Make sure you are running
the command from a "Visual Studio Command Prompt" (available under
Visual Studio in the start menu), not just a general command prompt.
This will set your PATH and other Visual Studio environment variables
correctly.

The docs say this:
"To build everything that you can on Windows, change into the src 
directory and type the command"

So you need to start in \path\to\pgsqlsource\src,
*not* \path\to\pgsqlsource\interfaces\libpq

Also, make sure you run
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
to set up your environment properly prior to running nmake.

HTH,
