Installing PostgreSQL on Win 2003 R2 64-bit
Yes, if you search the archives there was something on this. Maybe it was around
32-bit, but nonetheless, take a search through.

There is a patch in the queue written by Magnus Hagander right now
which allows pg to build from the microsoft C compiler. In theory,
this should allow pg to build 64 bit on windows with little or no
modifcation.
Another take is the Interix/SUA approach. I've had PostgreSQL sources
unmodified working on windows as far back as 7.4. I haven't looked at
it since the new R2 stuff came out, but if you are feeling adventerous
you might want to try and get SUA pgsql working on 64 bit.
Either of these approaches could work, but expect to be hacking around
wierd problems. There is decent chance pgsql will be officially
supported on windows as of 8.2, scheduled for release this summer.
The current windows build environment, mingw, does not support 64 bit
and doesn't look like it is going to in the near future.

Just so we're all clear, this patch *only* deals with 32-bit for now. It
lays a foundation for future work on 64-bit, but it makes no attempt at
it yet.

Um. That's the first I heard 8.2 was scheduled for release this summer.
AFAIK the curernt time-estimate is that it shuld go beta towards the end
of the summer, which means a release sometime Q4 if we follow previous
patterns.

The schedule is for feature freeze of August 1, so right, no _release_
in the summer (assuming northern hemisphere).

I was kind of amused by the bit about "officially supported as of 8.2",
too. That doesn't have anything to do with any reality I know of.

hm, ok. I thought freeze was jul 1. which would have put release in
late summer (or fall)...oh well.

By that I meant Mangus's msvc patch would be accepted into core
sources for 8.2. What I was trying to indicate was that there is a
decent chance of being able to build via msvc in 8.2...I expect (hope)
that this will happen...sorry to sound presumptious though.
