Postgres create a new index

[robygus]

Hello
I'm a student and I'm tring to undestand the easier way to create a new index ( ARB-Tree ) into Postgres 8.4. I found information about all tables ( PG_AM , PG_CLASS ...) to use and I found some C code sample but I need information about this points :
- What do I need to compile code in Windows XP ?
- How can I debug code while I'm using DB ?
- Where do I have to put my "extension" in database directory

Please help me !!!!!

Wow it looks like you trying to add some new patch. I am not sure if it so simple to add new index type to postgres, isn't it?. Maybe you should write a post at postgresql archive mail list, I think people like momijan, lane or fetter, who know exaclty how postgres works, will answer you
