Hi, I have some time now. I've tried to compile postgres from CVS but wihout success. I don't have visual studio 2005 installed so I've tried eclipse + MinGw. I checked out postgres from cvs branch "REL8_4_STABLE". But I wasn't able to compile it. I don't know how to configure builders to launch makefiles or what to do.
Any help will be apprecciated and write in-depth receipe, I am not a C/C++ developer (I am Java oriented).
