Re: Porting PostgreSQL to Windows 2000 installation procedures

Jayesh,

In the future, please post to the list instead of emailing me directly
so others can benefit too.

Just to be clear, does the above mean that configure ran successfully?

The above shows that compilation is failing on the very first file,
so that indicates to me that your Cygwin environment is suspect. Please
post the following versions:

Cygwin
gcc (including the port (i.e., the number after the "-" in the tarball))
binutils

Also, gcc "parse errors" have indicated text vs. binary mode issues with
older Cygwin gcc versions.
