Re: compiling postgres in winxp - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Any Code::Blocks user?  http://www.codeblocks.org/
Cannot compile PG-8.2.5 with WinXP SP2 using Code::Blocks.
I created a new project including ALL the files decompressed from 
postgresql-8.2.5.tar.gz
and then just clicked on "build". What's wrong?

Alternative ways to complie it with other IDE or any precise command line?

The error messages when building it are:

Project : Console application
Compiler : GNU GCC Compiler (called directly)
Directory : C:\Documents and Settings\manolo\Desktop\postgresql-8.2.5\
