Thank you sir.
Ah! got right person at right time :-). For now, my question is: I am
using my Windows XP OS on a laptop and built using MinGW. However, once
I try to create a database cluster using "initdb -D
/c/postgresql-8.3.5/src/data" it shows me a message "The program
postgres is needed by initdb but was not found in the same directory as
c:/postgresql-8.3.5/src/bin/initdb/initdb.exe. Actually the folder data
in src folder does not exist. Check your installation". I just want to
use this folder for the server instance of postgres. I have checked the
directory structure but did not find postgres.exe anywhere. Any quick
idea? I appreciate your help. As a new to this world, I feel that I am
asking some stupid question and thank you for your patience.
Best Regards

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.
This link would be helpful :-

Dear Sir,
I am trying to build PostGreSql from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.3.6/. However, I am unable to
find any complete step by step document how to build it in windows
xp. I would be grateful to you if you could point me any URL that can
guide me toward a successful compiling of the database.
If you really need to build from source you should look at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/install-win32.html
however I would recommend you install postgresql using the binary
installer on windows.
