Thread: Win32 Postgresql
Hello, I have CYGWIN running on my NT system and I am trying to compile postgres and install it and get an error with GMAKE. I have looked and looked but can not find it anywhere. I also do not have the Windows Visual C++ and can not afford it :-) Can anyone Please help????

You probably want to use PostgreSQL 7.1, since it has been known to install much easier on Windows. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/

Currently I do not have a copy of GMAKE. The error is that it does not exist and I can not find it from GNU. At 10:56 PM 3/8/01 +0100, Peter Eisentraut wrote: >Brian C.

If you are using CygWin, you do have GNU make on your system. It may just be called 'make' (gmake is usually juts a symlink to make). Otherwise, you may not hav ethe correct path setup. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/~bmccoy/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
