Porting to Win2k: ./configure failed - Mailing list pgsql-ports

    Hi everyone,

    I have followed KevinLo's instructions to port PostgreSQL 7.0.3 to Windows
2000, but when I type "./configure" I have the following command line
outout:

    $ ./configure
    loading cache ./config.cache
    checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
    checking echo setting...
    checking setting template to... cygwin32
    configure: warning: *** Include directory /usr/local/include does not
exist.
    checking whether to support locale... disabled
    checking whether to support cyrillic recode... disabled
    checking whether to support multibyte... disabled
    checking setting DEF_PGPORT... 5432
    checking setting DEF_MAXBACKENDS... 32
    checking setting USE_TCL... disabled
    checking setting USE_PERL... disabled
    checking setting USE_ODBC... disabled
    checking setproctitle... disabled
    checking setting ASSERT CHECKING... disabled
    checking for gcc... gcc
    checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works... no
    configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.

    I know:

        - "gcc" is there:

            $ gcc --version
            2.95.2-5

        - the directories /usr/local/pgsql/{bin,include,lib,data} are there:

            administrador@orgsch /usr/local/pgsql
            $ ls
            bin  data  include  lib

        (- and the truth is out there too ;) )

    I don't known what's wrong, probably a nonsense but I have been watching
configure files and don't how to fix the problem (haven't worked with this
tool before).

    Little help would be appreciated.
    Thanks for your time.
