postgres 7.4 build for win
Hi,
I am trying to build postgres 7.4.5 on windows (200) on
mingw/msys env. I have installed win32-pthreads to
enable-thread safet feature. Couple of issues that I
wanted to check:.
i) The configure was --enablethread-safety flag for the
platform (it was complaining CANNOT enable threads on your
platform). I copied src/template/linux to
src/template/win32 (most of the contents seemed thread
related) and the error was gone. Does this fix seem
reasonable.
ii) I am now getting an error that postgres doesnt have
native spinlock on this platform and to disable the
spinlock. Is this the expected behavior for the platform.
Thanks..
Amin
Hi Amin,
maybe I'm little off but why don't you try the 8.0.1 version which
should run on Windows platform?

7.4 is not supported natively on win32. If you need it on windows, you
need to use cygwin. If you can, go to 8.0.1 which is natively supported.
(No, it's not just a matter of finding the right way to compile it.
There is a *lot* of code changes between 7.4 and 8.0 for win32
compatibility)

I went for 8.0.1. Now compiling that (I need to compile it
with enable-thread-safety) it throws "THREAD-SAFETY
requires POSIX signals". Has this issue been looked upon
earlier .. I am not totally sure if we need the
thread-safey flag on windows or not, but it would be nice
to know if someone has seen this earlier..
Thanks..
