Re: About postgresql8.3.3 build in MS VS2005

Hi,

Thanks for your information. Very appreciated!
When I convert the file as encoded as UTF-8, there will be no errors.
For my understanding, if the file is encoded as UTF-8, the first 3 bytes
will be "efbbbf".
Maybe the cvs get the file only as ASCII format.

Now, the 3rdpart libxml and libxslt, zlib,iconv can support the debug
version building.
The latest openssl installation image seems to be built with vs2008.
So I downgraded the building with vc6.

Besides this, ossp-uuid seems very hard to find a win32 build version. Is
there comment int the wiki?
I just find one in the mail list, which says that there is one at

http://winpg.jp/~saito/pg_work/OSSP_win32/

Now all the build can pass well. Thanks so much.

Maybe the document can be updated for this.
