Обсуждение: can't build libpq with beta 2

Wow, I have no idea why that is failing.  I just fixed some VC problems
for someone but they were actual bugs related to path.c.  Your failure
looks like a build tools problem.

You've probably done this, but I should ask anyway.

Did you run the vcvars.bat to set the environment variables for MS VC?

I know I've run into this is previous versions, but IIRC it was operator error.

I think the strings.h problem is because you probably ran the
configure script with mingw prior to your MS Visual Studio build. It
sets up a pg_config.h within $PG/src/include which is defined for
mingw not for MS Visual Studio. If you simply delete that file, then
the win32.mak makefile will correctly overwrite pg_config.h.win32 to
the pg_config.h.

That should get you past the problem.
