Re: About patches to PostgreSQL 7.1.3 for readline 4.1 & 4.2 in Cygwin

In the future, please post to pgsql-cygwin(at)postgresql(dot)org instead of
sending private email so others can benefit too.

See attached for the patch. BTW, PostgreSQL CVS is slightly different
than this patch due an issue on a platform other than Cygwin or Linux
(which were the ones that I tested).

Another alternative is to download the pre-patch source from any Cygwin
mirror and configure PostgreSQL as required. For example:

ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/contrib/postgresql/postgresql-7.1.3-1-src.tar.bz2

BTW, what configure option(s) are missing? If the resulting PostgreSQL
builds OOTB, then I will configure the Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.2 package as
such when 7.2 is released.
