See the file "doc/FAQ_MSWIN" for details. - If you need to get a GNU package, you can find it at your local GNU mirror site (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for a list) or at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/. --- 69,74 ---- *************** *** 272,298 **** Example: --with-libraries=/opt/gnu/lib:/usr/sup/lib. - --enable-locale - - Enables locale support. There is a performance penalty associated - with locale support, but if you are not in an English-speaking - environment you will most likely need this. - --enable-recode Enables single-byte character set recode support. See the Administrator's Guide about this feature. - --enable-multibyte - - Allows the use of multibyte character encodings (including - Unicode) and character set encoding conversion. Read the - Administrator's Guide for details. - - Note that some interfaces (such as Tcl or Java) expect all - character strings to be in Unicode, so this option will be - required to correctly support these interfaces. - --enable-nls[=LANGUAGES] Enables Native Language Support (NLS), that is, the ability to --- 276,286 ---- *************** *** 400,412 **** --with-pam Build with PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) support. - - --enable-syslog - - Enables the PostgreSQL server to use the syslog logging facility. - (Using this option does not mean that you must log with syslog or - even that it will be done by default, it simply makes it possible - to turn that option on at run time.) --enable-debug --- 388,393 ----
