Re: Win32 development question

Without checking into details, this sounds like it could be a broken
ming/msys installation. Are you on the latest release version?

Also, check for the Makefile.port file manually. configure cleraly
thinks it has created it... If it's not there, check if you can create
symbolic links manually - I'd definitly lean towards broke mingw.

I haven't tried it since the 2-10-04 snapshot, but never had any
problems before, and IIRC there hasn't been any changes to configure or
the makefiles since then.

I am wanting to fiddle with the latest Win32 stuff, using the
Mingw tools.
Is it included in the current (2-17-04) snapshot?

I did a download of the tarball and expanded it.
I changed directory to the /postgresql-snapshot directory and
performed a ./configure

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating GNUmakefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile.global
config.status: creating src/include/pg_config.h
config.status: linking ./src/backend/port/tas/dummy.s to
src/backend/port/tas.s
config.status: linking ./src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.c to
src/backend/port/dynloader.c
config.status: linking ./src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c to
src/backend/port/pg_sema.c
config.status: linking ./src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c to
src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c
config.status: linking ./src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.h to
src/include/dynloader.h
config.status: linking ./src/include/port/win32.h to
src/include/pg_config_os.h
config.status: linking ./src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 to
src/Makefile.port

Make fails:

$ make
src/Makefile.global:275: src/Makefile.port: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target `src/Makefile.port'. Stop.

What is necessary in order to fool around with the Win32 stuff?
From the above symbolic link formation, it seems like it should
have found the file.
