Porting to Win2000

I am installing postgresql on a win2000 machine. I have installed cygwin and
cygipc, and I'm getting the following error when trying to run ./configure

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type ... i686-pc-cygwin
checking which template to use ... win
checking whether to build with local support ... no
checking whether to build with recode ... no
checking whether to build with multibyte character support ... no
checking whether NLS is wanted ... no
checking for default port number ... 5432
checking for soft limit on number of connections ... 32
checking for gcc ... no
checking for  cc ... no
configure:error:no acceptable cc found in $PATH

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,
Linda

You don't have the gcc package installed with CygWin32.  You need that to
compile the software!

There's no compiler installed. Why mess with this when you can install the
pre-built cygwin package? Much easier to deal with, and it seems to work
fairly well.

The obvious thing would be to make sure you downloaded the gcc package from
cygwin, and that it is in your path.
