If you are having troubles building PostgreSQL, why not just use the
pre-built version that is part of the standard Cygwin distribution?

Then read the following carefully to install as a service under windows XP
(and I think NT)

http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.4.README
<http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.4.README>

I do not think you should need to be using make at all.

If you are still having problems then search through the list archive as I
know all your problems have been answered (manyt times) there.
I would advise that you follow any tips or instructions given you by Jason
Tishler as he is the expert on these things.
Hope this helps.
Roger

Hi Venkat,
make sure the cygipc tar file shoudl be under \\cygwin <file://\\cygwin>
folder before gunzip.once u did the gunzip , automatically it will extract
and send to related folders."//usr/local/bin" folder must contain ipc-daemon
exe file.
but i doubt that result when u use "configure" . or gcc maybe not installed
properly.or b'ze of environment variables.
i also facing same issue but at different stage...
am using postgresql coming with cygwin. ther no configure file under
postgresql folder.
when i installed lower verison of postgresql , trying to configure, getting
gcc error like cannot create executables...

reply..

Hello all

Im trying to install Postgresql 7.3.4 on WindowsNT using Cygwin/cygipc. I
already have installed cygipc in a different directory. I started
ipc-daemon.
After doing "configure", i started "make". Im using gcc provided by cygwin
installer.
Postgresql throws an error. Its breaking in some IPC (cygipc) related files.

Am i missing any setting? do i need to append anything to any variable? or
cygipc should be extracted to a directory 'inside' postgresql directory
structure?
Pl note that i already have stared ipc-daemon.exe (i tried to start it as an
NT process and from cygwin prompt... any diff?). After that ihave given the
"make" command.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance.
