Hello all,

I am having problems with the setup of postgres on NT. I do have MSVisual
C++ I have done:

copy include\config.h.win32 include\config.h
nmake /f win32.mak

And I get

NMake : fatal error u1077: 'cd' : return code '0x1'
Stop

Can any one help.

I am using Version 1.62.7022 of NMake
and postgresql 7.0.2

Thank you.

I would guess that you'd probably need to be compiling
with cygwin and gcc and gmake

You don't need to do this with the Postgresql 7.0.3 sources
because the makefile does it for you.

I built them successfully with VC++ on Visual Studio 6.0 service
pack 5 and Postgresql 7.0.3.  I would suggest you get 7.0.3 or
newer and if that doesn't work then apply the service packs.

Pardon my ignorance on this topic, but if you compile using MS VC++  do you
need cygwin at all?  Does this allow you to run postgre without cygwin
installed?

You can only compile psql.exe and libpq.dll with VC++.  You
cannot build the postgresql server without the cygwin
environment.

There is no native port of PostgreSQL.  PostgreSQL uses UNIX system
calls, so Cygwin is required to translate these to Windows system
calls no matter what you used to compile the program with.
