Hello list
I need to compile postgres 8 for Windows to set up the locale support. The distributive accessible from FTPs does not support it, and I cannot sort Russian letters - that's why..
I have MS Visual Studio 6, but I've never worked with it. So, how can I do everything?

I don't think MS Visual Studio is supported. You need to use MingW:

Once you have that installed, building is the same as on Unix:
conigure, make, etc.
