Обсуждение: CVS can't be built on mingw
Hi, IIRC, ^M is the EOL character on windows. latest cvs failed to compile in my mingw env because src/backend/utils/Gen_dummy_probes.sed had that character, i had to manually remove it to continue. Besides, http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-11/msg00175.php added the need of having perl to build on mingw. That wasn't the case before, maybe we need a warning in the configure just as we do now with bison and flex? -- Atentamente, Jaime Casanova Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL Asesoría y desarrollo de sistemas Guayaquil - Ecuador Cel. +59387171157

It is not present in my copy on mingw. Which cvs program are you using? (EOL in text files on Windows is ^M^J in fact, not ^M alone.) Perl has been required for a long time to build from CVS. It is used to build psql help. This is not a new requirement. cheers andrew

No, you needed perl long before now. Look at psql's sql_help.h. regards, tom lane

Maybe psql's sql_help.h is not mandatory to the building process? -- Atentamente, Jaime Casanova Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL Asesoría y desarrollo de sistemas Guayaquil - Ecuador Cel. +59387171157
