MingW is perfectly supported, and we know people use it. MSVC is the recommended one I'd say, mainly because that's how the official binaries are built, so the results are much more well-tested. It also produces builds that are compatible with standard platform debugger and profiling tools. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
