Hi Emmanuel,

PostgreSQL cannot be compiled natively under Windows. PostgreSQL needs Cygwin
posix emulation layer to run under Windows.

The only alternative solution for a native installer would be to compile
PostgreSQL + Cygwin staticaly. This used to be possible with old versions of
Cygwin, but this is not true with newer Cygwin versions.

Therefore ... the only possible solution is to install Cygwin. During the
installation, you can choose the required packages and install them only.
PostgreSQL is part of these packages. This is quite straightforward.

Between: if you need more info, do not hesitate to write me in English...

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
