** To install the precompiled cygipc

bunzip2 -c <path-to-archive>/cygipc-${version}.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

where "${version}" is the version (e.g., 1.11-1).
To test the CygIPC install, launch a Cygwin shell window from the desktop or Windows Start Menu and type:
ipc-daemon &
It should echo its process number and give no errors.

1.type the command:
ipc-daemon &
2.To initialize PostgreSQL, type the command:
initdb -W -D /cygdrive/d/apps/cygwin/usr/local/pgsql/data
3.To start PostgreSQL Postmaster, type the command:
postmaster -i -D /cygdrive/d/apps/cygwin/usr/local/pgsql/data

** Let's go now ~
1.. To create the first database (here called testdb), open a new Cyqwin window and type the command:
createdb testdb
Note that you may use the -e option to show the query being sent to the backend.
2.. To test testdb, type the command:
psql testdb
3.. Note: the ipc-daemon & must always be running
