Re: Instructions For Building On Windows?

Thanks for the information.  I am now running into some compiling issues --
Please Help!!

I downloaded both MinGW and Msys onto my Windows system (running XP).  I
also downloaded and compiled OpenSSL source since I want to build Postgres
with OpenSSL enabled.

I've read the FAQ link below:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_MINGW.html and read the INSTALL
information.

When I run
'./configure --with-openssl --without-zlib --with-includes=c/mingw/include --with-libraries=c/mingw/lib',
I am getting an error that it cannot find the header file <openssl/ssl.h>,
even though it is located in C:\mingw\include\openssl\ssl.h.  And two
warnings saying that the Include directory and Library directory do not
exist -- even though they do!:

$
