Обсуждение: dowloading source

Just a couple of quick questions. I didn't see where they were talked about at
postgresql.org.

There are postgresql-base and postgresql-opt sources listed. What are they
for?

"Trying"? My contribution was much closer to a "feeble wave in the general
direction of something that might lead you one step closer to a solution
if you squint really hard and do all of the work."

See the README file, eg at
ftp://ftp8.us.postgresql.org/postgresql/source/v7.4/

Per that file:

The file named "postgresql-XXX.tar.gz" is the full source distribution.
Each of the other four "tarballs" contains a subset of the files from the
full distribution, for downloading convenience.  If you download all four
of them and unpack them into the same directory you will get exactly what
you would have gotten had you downloaded the full distribution.

Hi,
I have downloaded the source and compiled (win32.mak in the src directory) for
Windows with VC++ 6.0.  I got only psql.exe and libpq.dll.
I could not create other execuatables Viz.
createdb.exe
createlang.exe
dropdb.exe
droplang.exe
dropuser.exe
ecpg.exe
initdb.exe
pg_copy.exe
pg_ctl.exe
pg_dump.exe
pg_dumpall.exe
pg_id.exe
pg_passwd.exe
pg_restore.exe
pgbench.exe
post_svc.exe
postgres.exe
postmaster.exe
vacuumdb.exe
and the dlls
backend.dll
libecpg.dll
libpgtcl.dll


I got an installation kit 7.2.1 by ultra (postgres_beta4.zip).  That contains
the above executables and dlls.  which is working fine.
I changed this psql.exe and libpq.dll with the new one which got out of the
7.4.1, which gave me a warning like this.
Warning: Console codepage (437) differs from windows codepage (1252)
         8-bit characters will not work correctly. See PostgreSQL
         documentation "Installation on Windows" for details.
As lot of sayings is on like new version comes with huge performance
improvements
How can i get those exectuables for 7.4.1???
How can i complie the 7.4.1 to get all the executables and dlls?
Can you anyone help me out
Regards,
mohan.
