Thread: Problems compiling source on Windows XP

Problems compiling source on Windows XP

From
Elissa Newman
Date:
Hi- I followed your directions (in FAQ_MSWIN and INSTALL) to install PostgreSQL with Cygwin on my Windows XP machine. I
madesure 
that the Cygwin path was first on my PATH variable. I even uninstalled MS Visual Studio completely. I keep getting an
error(output 
appended below) that GEN_fmgrtab.sh fails because ../../../src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h can't be found while trying to
create
fmgroids.h. I ran ./configure again to see if that was what was wrong.
Please let me know what could be wrong, or if there is other info I need to send you for you to be able to diagnose the
problem.
Thanks, Elissa

Huh?

    $ tar -tjf postgresql-7.4.tar.bz2 | fgrep pg_proc.h
    postgresql-7.4/src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h

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