Hi Jason, All regression tests pass with the above hack on: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PC9 1.3.14(0.62/3/2) 2002-10-24 10:48 i686 unknown Hackers: As the Cygwin release that is actively supported is the binary distribution that Jason builds, I would think this is OK to be listed as supported if no-one disagrees... Regards, Dave.

Umm... Should I disagree? :,) Jason

I disagree. We document as supported those platforms that build out of the box, not those that build somehow, somewhere, by someone. Rather than advocating methods to manually edit your system headers we should try to find out what the problem really is, such as by analyzing config.log. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net

Did you miss the following?

As you can see, I have already performed root cause analysis of theses
problems *and* have taken the proper steps to ensure that PostgreSQL
builds OOTB under Cygwin (after the next Cygwin release).
