in pg_proc. Also make it not emit duplicate extern declarations, and make it a bit more bulletproof in some other small ways. Likewise fix the equally hard-wired, and utterly undocumented, knowledge in the MSVC build scripts. For testing purposes and perhaps other uses in future, pull out that portion of the MSVC scripts into a standalone perl script equivalent to Gen_fmgrtab.sh, and make it generate actually identical output, rather than just more-or-less-the-same output. Motivated by looking at Pavel's variadic function patch. Whether or not that gets accepted, we can be sure that pg_proc's column set will change again in the future; it's time to not have to deal with this gotcha.
$PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/tools/msvc/README,v 1.7 2008/03/21 13:23:29 momjian Exp $ MSVC build ========== This directory contains the tools required to build PostgreSQL using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. This builds the whole backend, not just the libpq frontend library. For more information, see the documentation chapter "Installation on Windows". Notes about code indention -------------------------- If the perl code is modified, use perltidy on it since pgindent won't touch perl code. Use the following commandline: perltidy -b -bl -nsfs -naws -l=100 -ole=unix *.pl *.pm Notes about Visual Studio Express --------------------------------- To build PostgreSQL using Visual Studio Express, the Platform SDK has to be installed. Since this is not included in the product originally, extra steps are needed to make it work. First, download and install the latest Platform SDK from www.microsoft.com. Locate the files vcprojectengine.dll.express.config and vcprojectengine.dll.config in the vc\vcpackages directory of the Visual C++ Express installation. In these files, add the paths to the Platform SDK to the Include, Library and Path tags. Be sure to add them to the beginning of the list. This should work for both GUI and commandline builds, but a restart may be necessary.
