If it fails to do so, there's something wrong with your setup. It's likely this is related to the missing config.pl . vcregress installcheck (different command) requires an existing running server.

Description:

Hi,
I am not very experienced and some of these corrections may be trivial or childish.

I have been following the steps for "Building with Visual C++ or the Microsoft Windows SDK" for 9.6. using Visual Studio 2015.
Everything was pretty straightforward aside from a few things:

- I didn't find a config.pl file and wasn't sure if I created it what exactly to put in it (I thought about copy/paste from the
"config_default.pl" but decided not to). Instead I added all t= he required
libraries to the system PATH.

It wouldn= 't hurt to spell that out explicitly, though I would've assumed it = was implied by the filename and presence of a config_default.pl .

Please send a docs= patch.

- After having successfully run "build" and "install" I= was having issues
running the regression tests. "vcregress check" ran fine but afte= r that I
kept getting this error:
-----------------------------------------------------
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Is the server running on host "localhost&q= uot; (::1) and accepting

------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, there was no server running. But I was never instructed to creat= e
a data directory or user, and run "initDB" and "pgstl Start&= quot; before this
step. I think that should be added somewhere between to avoid confusion. (I=
may be completely wrong and have missed some step somewhere)


vcregress check should create a tempor= ary datadir and start a temporary server. If it fails to do so, there's= something wrong with your setup. It's likely this is related to the mi= ssing config.pl .

vcregress installcheck (different command) requires an existing running se= rver. But that's not what you ran.=C2=A0
