Gmake for windows already exists, anyway. The point is that building for MSVC is so very different from the way you build everywhere else. Our current tools build MSVC project files and then drive the build from there. Having a make equivalent won't help us much. cheers andrew

The easiest way if you're building something for scratch is to use a system that natively supports msvc, such as cmake. But that means a complete replacement of the build system, which is certainly "somewhat invasive".. ;-) //Magnus

What I was actually thinking was using this make reimplementation to generate the MSVC project files, instead of parsing the makefiles to do the same. So we would need extra Makefiles with infrastructure to do that, but we would get away from the text parsing business. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

But surely putting a GNU make binary at some download location would be even easier.

Is there anything that will be useful to say unless someone's done some experiments to look at? regards, tom lane
