Thread: any tutor/samples for installing/starting/programming on NT ?
Hi there, You would see my page: http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html Hope that helps, Kevin.
Kevin,
I was thrilled to see your page, as I had previously tried unsuccessfully
to build postgreSQL on NT. However, when i try to follow your instructions,
I get an error at the third step:
>mount c:/Unix/Root /
mount failed: Device or resource busy
I was careful not to have any other windows open when i tried this.
any clues?
tmia,

Logout the Cygwin, then login. Run ``mount'' you should see that mounted. If not, try ``mount -f c:/Unix/Root /''. > tmia, > ~c - Kevin

Thank you very much. I'm now on a different machine where cygnus is
installed in C:\cygnus instead of C:\Unix\Root I'll go ahead with the rest
of your instructions here without uninstalling/reinstalling, as I shouldn't
think that this would make a difference.
thanx again,

This is crazy stuff (but i really appreciate your effort in assembling this
information).
I made it much farther now. At step 10 In the instructions for installing
PostgreSQL 7.0 when i try
./configure
i get:
>./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
yet, it's obviously there and even seems executable

I generally get this when transferring perl scripts to a machine where perl is not in /usr/bin/perl...

BTW, did you follow my *step-by-step* instructions ?? Seems you missed some steps. - Kevin
