First, the MS Visual whatever compiler can also be used with a makefile-driven build system. Second, the port as it stands isn't really compatible with anything except Jan's build instructions. There's a lot of work to be done before we get anything that builds out of the box in the 7.4 branch, and it's going to be a lot easier if we do it using the build system we already have and know. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
