Installing on Windows

Im following the instructions on the page to install Pgrouting but im getting lost. I download lot of exe also some libraries.

What this CP Stand for? cp /include/*.h /mingw/include cp /lib/libpthreadGC2.a /mingw/lib/libpthread.a

Also when i was installing MinGW-5.0.3.exe i couldnt download the install files. Im guessing because im behind a firewall and i couldnt put the proxy info. I will try again at home and see if i can install this.

PD: There isnt a simple install package for windows?

    "CP" stands for "copy".

    Indeed it needs a lot more work to setup a Windows PC to compile the source code. There have been some contributions in the past, so we could offer a Windows installer version.
    On one side the demand for Windows support is high, but the contribution "motivation" is low. We also would appreciate if someone could provide a Windows version.

      Can anyone tell me what is the way to install pgRouting on Windows? Using pgRouting-1.0.0.a-0_win32.exe as an installer or pgRouting-1.0_win32.zip?

      I have installed by using the installer but cannot see the librouting.dll or routing_core.sql in any folders under c:\program files\postgresql.

      Anyway, I have tried to install it. When I tried the command "SELECT * FROM shortest_path('SELECT id, source::integer, target::integer, cost::double precision FROM edge_table',1, 9, false, false);" I have got this error "ERROR: cache lookup failed for type 19139880". What does it mean?

      Thanks.
