Bug reference: 4662
Logged by: Pavel Golub
Email address: pavel(dot)golub(at)gf(dot)microolap(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4
Operating system: Windows XP SP3
Description: make failed using MinGW under WinXP
Details:

$ make

We got an error:

This issue was discussed in the Hackers PostgreSQL mailing list and
discussion could be found in the archive
(http://postgresqlorg.blogspot.com/2008/09/hackers-83-4-vista-mingw-initdb.h
tml).

The solution is to add an additional header file to
postgresql/src/include/libpq/libpq-be.h
and
postgresql/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-int.h:


#ifdef ENABLE_SSPI
#define SECURITY_WIN32
#include <ntsecapi.h> <——- Add this include
#include <security.h>
#undef SECURITY_WIN32

Just interesting, will this patch be present in 8.4.x branch of PostgreSQL
sources?
