windows build docs
Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.net> — 2011-01-31T17:14:18Z
Following recent discussions and the enabling of 64 bit Mingw builds, I propose to make the attached changes to the docs. I don't see any great reason for us to advise against building with Mingw, especially now that we have 64 bit support for it, so I removed that, amd also clarified where Cygwin is useful and where it's not, as well as adding some detail about how to make 64 bit builds. cheers andrew

Agreed, and looks good to me. Do you know if cygwin psql works in non-US locales these days? It used to be that it didn't, and if we recommend it we should probably include a notice if it doesn't. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

I just tested by setting my machine to fr_FR, and also setting LANG=fr_FR.utf8 under Cygwin. The build failed. The I set Cygwin back to LANG=C.utf8 and the build/install succeeded. After that, I switched back to LANG=fr_FR.utf8, and initdb, pg_ctl start and psql all behaved as expected. I'm adding a note accordingly. Some day I'll try to work out why the build went boom, but now I need to move on to other things. cheers andrew

The thing that *didn't* work for me previously was running it with *windows* in a different locale. Meaning setting "regional settings" in the control panel to something like, say, Swedish :-) Or for that matter, french. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Maybe it's been fixed. cheers andrew

Great. Doesn't surprise me if it is, it was years ago... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
