Re: Not able to build libpq for Windows

Hi Bruce,
I'm still getting some compilation errors. I'm listing the steps I followed below:
1. Downloaded the postgresql-8.0.0beta2 file
2. Unzipped it.
3. Change directory to src directory and issued "nmake /f win32.mak" command.

I see many undelcared identifiers in port/path.c file. Looks like they are environment setup related variables. Do I need to do any configuration before starting the compilation using nmake?

Here I'm reproducing the compilation results :

We fixed a number of MS VC issues and these should be in the beta2
