Installing an Extension for PostGresql on Windows

[Steve B]

Hi,

I wish to install the extension knn that i retrieved from http://www.pgxn.org/tag/analysis onto a windows installation of Postgresql
I tried the instructions at http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/216-PostgreSQL-9.1-Exploring-Extensions.html but am unable to find the file make or make install.

Can anyone help me with the installation. Is this package linux/Unix specific?

Thanks for your time
Steve

What compiler are you using? You need to have the `make` command or one of its variants installed, as well as a compiler. The Postgres Online article uses MingW as an example; you can get it here:

Beyond that I can’t be much help, I’m afraid. Any other Windows users around who could help Steve?

Best,

David
