Обсуждение: Re: [GENERAL] Upcoming 6.4 release issues - WinNT

The only report that comes to mind is one person saying that they
successfully compiled it out of the box, no changes to PostgreSQL sources,
usin gthe Cygwin stuff. He had to modify the cygwin setup slightly (add a
header file or two, I believe?), but other then that, compiled and ran out
of the box...

The url points to a patch that needs to be updated, because the pg_version change is no longer needed. He may have already fixed that.
