Re: building Postgresql in Windows XP

OK, finally I could build it from source. I am using MinGW to do that.
Now that I have those exe files. Now how do I start the service or the
database. I see the necessary exe files under src/bin/scripts folder
such as createdb.exe, createuser.exe...Any manual for that. I appreciate
your help.
