In previous versions, postgres.exe built fine without -lpostgres.  Other
components needed to link with libpostgres.a -- not postgres.exe.  As
you indicated above, seems like there is a cross-dependency issue
introduced in 8.0.

IMO, linking against libpostgres.a is preferable assuming the
cross-dependency issue cannot be solved.

The shouldn't happen.  Do you have cygipc installed?  If so, then
uninstall and try again.  Any better?

AFAICT, no.

Does the above imply that 8.0 will not need the IPC in cygserver?

Yes.  For example, 7.4.3 build fine against cygserver.

Thanks!

Thanks again.  I can use the rest. :,)

OK, I was just surprised that configure didn't automatically detect the
platform.

Precise is good -- redundant is not necessarily good.

OK.

Sorry, for the above.  I temporarily forgot that Cygwin PostgreSQL has
TCL issues.

> But I can have a try.

OK, but IMO I would address the other issues first since Cygwin
PostgreSQL never supported TCL in the past.  BTW, check the archives,
Patrick Samson and I have made some progress in the past.

It may be harder than anticipated -- remember the Cygwin Tcl/Tk package
is really a native Win32 package not a Cygwin one... :,(

Thanks.

Sounds good.

Depends on the question. :,)

Let me know how is goes.
