What is the best procedure to update the MonetDB in windows? I cannot all the time check if there are old files or not. The compilation should detect if there are changes and if yes the old files should me removed.
If not the best way is to checkout all the time a new version and compile everything.

There should not be a need to do a complete checkout ever. I never do. I only use "cvs update -dP".
It is very hard to get all make dependencies right so that make always does the right thing. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to recompile everything, or at least everything in a particular subproject. The easiest way to do that is by completely removing the build directory (in the default setup of the conf.bash script that would be the Linux subdirectory on Linux and the CYGWIN subdirectory on Cygwin). You can also run ./de-bootstrap, but that is also rarely needed (as long as you do run ./bootstrap when any *.ag file changes).
In cygwin I know that, However, I am using the nmake. I do not have a build directory to remove ;) Regards, Romulo
