Thread: Is it possible compile Pg 7.1.3 in order to run under Win98?
I read in Postgres 7.1 docs it work only under WinNT/2000 whereas Postgres 7.2 is capable to run under Win98/ME. I wish know if it's a feature of Pg 7.2 or if it's the last version of Cygwin that allow this. In other word compiling Pg 7.1.3 on last Cygwin can it run under Win98? Thanks in advance Gianfranco Masia

All of 7.x versions of PostgreSQL (generously patched by Jason) run on w9x with the same restrictions they do on NT/2000."make tests" is the place where the things differ, w9x/cygwin having not all the facilities the test suite assumes.Also installation process is somehow simpler, as there are no file ownership problems to deal with. This leads tosome security issues, but they are OS inherent in this case. Oh, and there are of course, cygwin problems for some versions of the dll, check this list for their history.
