Thread: Announce: PostgreSQL-6.5.3 binaries available for Windows NT
Hi, Some people asked me to build PostgreSQL binaries for Windows NT. The binaries(PostgreSQL-6.5.3) are now available at: ftp://203.79.167.135/pub/postgres-nt-binaries.tar.gz Please go to my page if you want to build it yourself :) http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html The Chinese version is at: http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT_Big5.html Enjoy!

PGDATA directory '/usr/local/pgsql/data' not found even if two minutes ago it worked and the directory is there of course. Some funny problem with mount? Any help will be greatly apreciated. - Robert .

Kevin, We are interested in funding work to get postgresql working on Windows 9x. I know that cgywin is available for Win9x but that parts of the api are not available. Do you believe it will be possible to build and run postgresql on Win9x? How much work would be involved?

I wonder if it would be easier to pay Cygnus to port the missing pieces. Can you give us a detailed list of the missing features the PostgreSQL needs the Cgywin doesn't have on Win9x? -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

I'm gonna implement Tcl/Tk API with PostgreSQL, let users can write GUI apps. But it seems to take a lot of time... Some people told me they can use NT binaries on Win98. Well, I don't test it yet. > -- > Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle > maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 > + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue > + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 - Kevin
