Re: Building PostgreSQL in Eclipse on Windows

wait, are you trying to USE postgres on Eclipse on Windows, or BUILD it ?    I would use the enterprisedb build of postgres-for-windows, and then you just need to install the appropriate postgresql jdbc jar file into Eclipse to be able to use it from your Eclipsed based development.

I'm trying to build from source, and hopefully be able to run in debug mode.

I ran ./configure --prefix=$HOME/project --enable-depend --enable-cassert --enable-debug and it seems to have completed with no errors, but I do not see anything at $HOME/project?

that just sets up the makefiles... you now need to `make` and `make install` to build postgres, then put its binaries in your 'prefix' path.

thank you, I will try this as well as Michael's suggestions and let you guys know how it went.
