Bruce, I think this is now ready to import into the WIN32 branch. I have ironed out the cygwin dependencies, and posted a note about what we'll need to do inside postgres to handle the environment values for setlocale() on Windows.
If you want to rip out the unlink stuff (see previous email thread) we'll need a version of dirmod.c that is compiled with -DFRONTEND - I guess libpq is the obvious place for that. Apart from initdb.c we'll need the file system_views.sql, which can be taken without change (unless someone want to add comments to it), and Makefile modifications (see my Makefile on the web for an example, but it probably doesn't comply with our standard way of doing things). Anything broken can then be fixed with patches - I have about 7 versions on 5 machines now and my head is starting to swim -). pg_id and pg_encoding now become redundant in their entirety, as does initdb.sh. cheers andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Momjian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Andrew Dunstan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Postgresql Hackers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "pgsql-hackers-win32" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 10:07 PM Subject: Re: [pgsql-hackers-win32] [HACKERS] initdb > Andrew Dunstan wrote: > > There will be a new version out there soon.
