Thread: Windows NT binary

Windows NT binary

From

Since I'm probably not the last poor soul struggling
to build postgresql on NT, I was wondering about
the relative pros/cons of distributing the binary.
Is there an NT binary available for the current postgres
6.5.3?  How much interest would there be in current
binaries if they existed?

Dan,

I think it would be a great idea.  I have spent more than a day to try and
compile and I still haven't been able to run it (I get a
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION when running initdb).
Having the binaries would make it so much easier for people.

Ok, I will build PostgreSQL 6.5.3 binaries for WinNT.
Well, please give me a couple of days to do this :)

Thanks for offering to make Binaries available!  I suspect
many people will find them useful, especially if they included
support for Perl, Tcl and ODBC.  I've just reinstalled NT and
will try following your instructions again...
