Thread: postgresql client under win 2k

I have postgresql 7.1 under current cygwin on top of win 2k.

I would now like to write clients UNDER WIN 2K for the server which runs
under cygwin on the same win 2K box.

When I try to nmake the source under VC++, I get errors which are listed at
the end.  I have VC++ bins in the path.

Note, the windows source tree for postgresql is separate from cygwin source
tree.

I realize this is not strictly a cygwin postgresql issue, since my cygwin
postgresql is up and working.  But the reason I am using cygwin postgresql
is to have win clients on the same box.

Thanks,
Ray

Just curious, but why don't you use Cygwin's gcc instead?

I just tried this myself and it worked as expected in my environment.

The output below seems to indicate that your VC++ setup is not correct.
What happens when you type "cl" at the command.com prompt?

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The above seems to be suspicious.

The above seems to indicate that you cannot find cl.exe in your PATH.

Ditto for link.

Ditto for rc.
