Hi,
I'm trying to compile Postgres 7.0.2 in Cygwin 1.1.4 in a Windows NT 4.0
system.
I've configured with the template provided to cygwin, and I get the
following error in the compilation process:
gcc -g -o postgres.exe -Wl,--base-file,postgres.base postgres.exp
access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o
executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o main/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o
nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o
regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o
utils/SUBSYS.o ../utils/version.o -L/usr/local/lib -lcygipc -lcrypt -lcygwin
-lkernel32
utils/SUBSYS.o(.text+0x42ec7):elog.c: undefined reference to `_sys_nerr'
utils/SUBSYS.o(.text+0x438a5):exc.c: undefined reference to `_sys_nerr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [postgres] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/source/src/backend'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I was unable to resolve this error. I suppose the problem resides in the
Cygwin implementation, the _sys_nerr is an external variable in the .c files
(elog.c and exc.c) that should reside in the cygwin.dll ! (I'v tried to
understand the comments in version.h)
Anyone have experienced something like this? I suppose I should install a
previous version of Cygwin.
Thanks,
Pedro Machado
