Hi all,

Following some instructions on the wiki and the docs, I am trying to
compile the code using minwg:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Building_With_MinGW
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/installation-platform-notes.html#INSTALLATION-NOTES-MINGW

After installing mingw-w64 and adding its binaries to PATH, I am able
to complete configure correctly (including finding a compiler with
--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32). However mingw-w64 does not have a make
command included so compilation cannot continue.

I have also installed msysgit to facilitate the work and have already
most of the build dependencies at hand. Something obvious that I may
be missing? Is it better to give up with mingw and switch to msvc?

Regards,

Michael
