NT install

Hello,

I have installed cygwin as of late September, 2001, and cygipc-1_10-1 and
was trying to do the gmake today as part of the postgresql install and I
received this error:

gcc -02 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations command.o
common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o copy.o startup.o prompt.o

tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c: undefined reference
to `filename_completion_function`

make[2]: Leaving directory `/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/postgresql-7.1.3/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Do you think I should remove the reference to filename_completion_function?

In the broader context, I am trying to use postgresql on my WindowsNT
to access a sybase database using ODBC.

Does anyone know of this having been done successfully? Are there
focused and detailed instructions for this purpose?

Thanks,

David

Have you considered using the pre-build postgresql that comes with cygwin?
I think there are many who have this working.

No.  The pristine PostgreSQL 7.1.3 source needs to be patched to build
against readline 4.2 (or later) under Cygwin.  I recommend using the
already patched for Cygwin PostgreSQL source that is available on the
Cygwin mirrors.  Of course, this is only if the pre-built binary does
not meet your needs.

Sorry, I have no experience in this area so I can't help you with
this one.
