Hi, hackers

I try to compile from git repository and get some errors.

Windows 7 x86
VC Express 2008
perl v5.8.9
flex 2.5.4a-1
bison 2.4.1

Your version of flex is too old. You can try the one at
<http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/misc/winflex/windows-flex-2.5.35.zip&gt;,
or the one that comes with Msysgit should also be suitable if you're
using that.

cheers

Hmm ... had the OP been using configure, he'd have been told that by the
build scripts. Should the MSVC build scripts be improved to check the
versions of bison and flex?

We do it for bison already. It probably shouldn't be too hard to do
the same for flex.

Thank you everyone.

Now, there is still one error:

Build started: Project: postgres, Configuration: Release|Win32
Running flex on src\backend\parser\scan.l
VCBUILD : cygwin warning :
MS-DOS style path detected: src\backend\parser\scan.l
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: src/backend/parser/scan.l
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

The command exited with code 1.

You are probably not setting the M4 environment variable correctly. The
instructions state:

To run this version of flex, you will need to set the M4 environment variable
to point to your installation of m4. You need one of these in order to run
both bison and flex, and it sometimes comes packaged with bison.

If you are using this in a buildfarm member, you can set that environment
variable in its config file, in the build_env stanza, something like:

M4 => 'c:\path\to\bin\m4.exe',
