Thread: installation in windows
Hi:
I try to instsall postgresql natively in the windows system. I use
the command nmake /f win32.mak with the microsoft visual C++ in my path
under the src directory. I get the psql.exe and libpq.dll and other
files. However, I am not able to start the database server. When I try the
command psql in the dos mode, I get the error message
"connectDBStart()--socket failed: error=0". Moreover I do not have the
postmaster executable files. Would I get the postmaster excutable files by
executing the nmake /f win32.mak command? I also install postgresql with
Cygwin in another Window NT. I see the postmaster.exe in that machine,
with the cygwin environment. I try to compile the postmaster.c file in
visual C++. However, the C library files such as unistd.h cannot be
found. I'm not able to compile postmaster.c. The visual C++ I used is
microsoft studio 6.0 enterprise edition.
If anybody know anything about my troubles or have any insign, Please
let me know. I'm every appreciate it. Thank you and please give me some
suggestions. It would be a very great help for me.

Take a look at Porting PostgreSQL to Windows 2000 Installation Procedures http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html You will need the current Cygwin environment http://www.cygwin.com/ and the Cygwin32 IPC package http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/cygipc-1.09-2 .tar.gz to run the PostgreSQL backend on Windoz. I am currently utilizing PostgreSQL v7.1 on a Win2K notebook computer with the above configuration; works great. Raymond
I've already install postgresql with cygwin and I am able to query simple database. However, my supervisor wants me to install postgresql vatively under windows system. Any body knows if postgresql runs natively under windows? Thank you for helping me. Yu Ye Zhou On Mon, 11 Jun 2001, Christof Glaser wrote: > On Wednesday, 6.

Hi:
I install postgresql in Windows NT and I'm able to query simple
database. I try to configure JDBC in the postgresql package under the
interface directory. I reconfigure the system (JDBC and the rest of the
postgresql) over again using ./configure --with-java. When I compile the
source code using make, I get an error. It says that jakarta/ant not
found. I did see ant under the bin directory of the ant home. I also check
the path. The bin directory containing the cat is in the path. I've no
idear of what's wrong with my configuration. Is there any way that I can
intall JDBC driver with re-configure the rest of the postgresql? The
documentation only menstion that there is such way, but it does not give
any instruction. Thank you for any one that help me. I'm very appreciate.
Thank you and please give me suggestions or help.
