1. I installed the latest version of Mingw from:
http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
2. I installed the current snapshot of Postgresql.
3. I tried ./configure -- went fine
4. I tried make clean -- went fine
5. I tried make and hit a few snags.
6. For both:
/postgresql-snapshot/src/backend/utils/float.c
and
/postgresql-snapshot/src/backend/utils/timestamp.c
I had to make this change:
/* for finite() on Solaris */
#ifdef HAVE_IEEEFP_H
#ifndef BUILDING_DLL /* bugbug DRC: ieeefp.h is present but badly
broken on my installation of MINGW */
#include <ieeefp.h>
#endif /* end of bug patch */
#endif
7. For some strange reason, one of the symbolic links did not work
correctly. I did a work-around as follows:
copy .\src\backend\port\sysv_sema.c src\backend\port\pg_sema.c
8. After making those changes, I got the following error:

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
