Thread: C compiler not found during windows 2000

C compiler not found during windows 2000

From
"Agrawal, Manish"
Date:
I am trying to install PostgreSQL 7.3 on Windows 2000. I have installed Cygwin and CygIPC 1.3. However, when I use the command ./configure in the postgresql directory, I get the error message cygpcre.dll not found and in the bash shell, I see the feedback, "no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH".
 
Would someone know how I could sort this out
 
Thanks
Manish

Why aren't you using the latest cygipc version -- 1.13-2?

You did not install the gcc, binutils, etc. packages.

Why don't you use the pre-built PostgreSQL 7.3 that is part of the
standard Cygwin distribution?
