Thread: installing postgresql on win2000
To whom it may concern, I am trying to install the postgresql-7.1.3 on win2000. I already installed the cygwin software, as well as the cygipc package. I added the bin directory to the path and ran the ipc-daemon as a service. after all this steps i didn't really know what to do since I don't have any UNIX background. these are the steps that I did after the installation of the cygwin and cygipc: 1) moved the progresql to the cygwin directory. 2) ran the ./configure as specified in the install file. I got an error when I ran the ./configure file. (see attached file) can you please tell me what are the next steps that I need to take. Moreover, where can I find this gmake file that is mentioned in the install file? any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance, Tsvika Klein EECS Department Tufts University

Yes.
Please read the README file:
/usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README
that gets installed automatically too.
Thanks,

Mark,
In the future, please post to pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org instead of
sending private email, so others can benefit too.

No.
You need to install binutils.
Please install *all* Cygwin packages, unless you really know what you
are doing.

Ok. I've installed the following things but, I'm still not getting a
successful install.

Here's the config.log:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure: failed program was:
#line 1242 "configure"

am I missing a library 'user32' or something?
Thanks

!!!! Please install ALL the Cygwin packages,
unless you really know what you are doing !!!!
FYI - libuser32 is part of the win32api package

You are missing the w32api package -- please install it and *all* other
Cygwin packages.
Thanks,
