Thread: Real compilation error
I got the following error (while linking): tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c: undefined reference to 'filename_completion_function'. Best regards, Erwin van den Berg
Is that the problem with readline-4.2? Try 4.1. I think there's a patch hanging around some where that lets you use 4.2 on cygwin but don't have the foggiest where. FYI: you do know that a version of postgresql comes precompiled now with cygwin? You just need to add cygipc and then initdb (IIRC). - Stuart > -----Original Message----- > From: Erwin van den Berg [SMTP:evdberg@visualdomain.net] > Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 2:09 PM > To: pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org > Subject: [CYGWIN] Real compilation error > > I got the following error (while linking): > tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c: undefined reference to > 'filename_completion_function'. > > Best regards, > Erwin van den Berg > > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl

Never used MySQL so couldn't comment (when evaluating options it seemed a

In the options to install/download there is a section listing all the
packages. If you look to the top right there should be an option with prev.
Use this to select readline-4.1 (I believe you can install over 4.2 if that
is already installed).

I must admit to using my own compilations so that I can set the options and
run regression tests so I'm not sure of how much you need to do. However its
important to realise you must install cygipc (can't remeber exactly where
you get it). Try having a look at these as well:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin
also
http://techdocs.postgresql.org
and the main site:

When I tested it years ago, I ended up choosing PostgreSQL. But now MySQL has grown (database replication, master/slave) and it has a native Win32 version, which I think is a big plus. I hope that there will be a native PostgreSQL in the future too. > > > Try 4.1. > > > > Where do I get that? > > > In the options to install/download there is a section listing all the > packages.

postmaster is not missing -- it is a symlink just like on other platforms:
$ tar -tvjf postgresql-7.1.2-3.tar.bz2 | fgrep postmaster
lrwxrwxrwx jt/Domain Users 0 2001-07-12 15:09:50 usr/bin/postmaster -> postgres.exe

Hello,
Have you tried starting the postmaster with the -i option?

Is there any reply on this? I went through the manual but the minimum install as laid out in the manual does not support the initdb command for postgresql.

These are the installation steps for a minimum Prostgresql on Cygwin. Pleas
enote that I still cant run the initdb command with this minimum
installation, can someone please advise.
I installed the following packages to build and/or execute
Cygwin PostgreSQL:
crypt 1.0.1
cygipc 1.09
readline 4.1
zlib 1.1.3
cygwin 1.3.1
--------------- Installation detail----------------------------------------
$Id: README,v 1.12 2001/05/24 17:24:42 jt Exp $

zlib 1.1.3
cygwin 1.3.1
Install:
The following is the Cygwin PostgreSQL installation procedure:
1. Install the latest cygipc from:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/index.html
2. Install the cygipc ipc-daemon as a service, if appropriate for your
platform
(NT/2000 only):
$ ipc-daemon --install-as-service
3. Start the cygipc ipc-daemon, as appropriate for your platform:
$ net start ipc-daemon # NT/2000 or
$ ipc-daemon & # 9X/Me
4. Define the following environment variable:

6. Start the PostgreSQL postmaster:
$ postmaster &
7. Connect to PostgreSQL:
$ psql template1

Hi Stuart,
Yes, it was the problem with the readline 4.2, thanks for the help! Now I
could succesfully compile everything. Unfortunately it did not solve the
problem. I still do not have port 5432 open ... :-(

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
---------------------------(end of broadcast)---------------------------
TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org
