Re: compile postgres with visual studio 2010

Hi

Ok - but how do I install the patch in the link?

I pressed the latest "patch" link Tom Lane gave me (Patch by brar on 2011-07-07 12:37:47 AM: Added documentation, removed pgflex.pl and pgbison.pl. No changes to the existing code. ), where I saw some correspondence and very long text file (perl).

Is there a utility for applying the patch, or a README document for step by step implementation?

Regards,
Yuval

Unless you're willing to use the patch Tom linked to, you should compile
with Visual Studio 2008 or with the Microsoft Platform SDK 7.0 (Windows
Vista and .NET 3.5).

More testing of the VS 2010 patches would be appreciated, so it'd be
great if you did give them a go.
