Thread: configure hangs with tcl/tk support
Hi, I have successfully installed PostgreSQL 7.3(without tcl/tk support) on Cygwin(1.3.17.1) on Windows2000 Professional. But when I try to configure it with: ./configure --with-java --with-tcl --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib (I need pgaccess which needs tcl support) It hangs at: config.status: creating src/Makefile.global With "sed.exe" consuming around 90-95% of the CPU resources. First of all; will pgaccess run under cygwin + XFree86? -- Regards, Suraj Amin Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/suraj_amin/ /* May the source be with you */ /** * Microsoft: Where do you want to go today? * Linux: Where do you want to go tomorrow? * BSD: Are you guys coming, or what? */

The original cygwin tcl/tk doesn't have such support, it doesn'teven have autotools support.

The thing to note though is that you would have to use an 8.3 based tcl/tk distro as these libs are, AFAIL, not stubs enabled and will not load under the more recent 8.4 tcl/tk. WRT cygwin/Xfree, I do not understand why you would not just run pgacess natively in Windows? regards, nicolas boretos
Hi, >>WRT cygwin/Xfree, I do not understand why you would not just run pgacess natively in Windows? I am so sorry. I wasn't aware that a native windoze version of pgaccess exists. Thanks a lot. -- Regards, Suraj Amin Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/suraj_amin/ /* May the source be with you */ /** * Microsoft: Where do you want to go today? * Linux: Where do you want to go tomorrow? * BSD: Are you guys coming, or what? */ Nicolas Boretos wrote: > Suraj Amin wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I have successfully installed PostgreSQL 7.3(without tcl/tk support) >> on Cygwin(1.3.17.1) on Windows2000 Professional. >> But when I try to configure it with: >> ./configure --with-java --with-tcl --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib (I need >> pgaccess which needs tcl support) >> >> It hangs at: >> config.status: creating src/Makefile.global >> >> With "sed.exe" consuming around 90-95% of the CPU resources. >> >> First of all; will pgaccess run under cygwin + XFree86? >> > > Hi, > > IIRC, postgres builds libpq anyway, but you dont need to compile > postgres with tcl inorder to use pgaccess, as it comes both with libpq > and libpgtcl dlls. > The thing to note though is that you would have to use an 8.3 based > tcl/tk distro as these libs are, AFAIL, not stubs enabled and will not > load under the more recent 8.4 tcl/tk. > > WRT cygwin/Xfree, I do not understand why you would not just run > pgacess natively in Windows? > > regards, > > nicolas boretos > > >
