Hi,

Running 'make install' produced this error:

dlltool --dllname postgres.exe --output-exp postgres.exp --def postgres.def

In particular, note the 'undefined reference to `_sys_nerr` messages for

I'm building PostgreSQL 7.0.3 under Windows NT sp6a using Cygwin 1.1.7 and
cywin32_ipc 1.09.

Should I cross-post this to another mailing list to see if anyone knows what
the problem is here?  Thanks!

Cheers,
David Ventimiglia

Dave,

I was having a similar problem.  I stopped getting that error when I tried
postgres 7.1beta6 instead.

Supposedly if you put the right patches on and put the special fixed header
files where they belong, sing the secret mantra and shake the holy rattle,
you can make it work with 7.0.3.

I never could make it work though :)  The patch didn't work right, gave me an
error (even thought I'm sure it was a unix nl-delimited file).

I'm using 1.1.8 cygwin, BTW.

Here are the references I found:
http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin

Ciao,
Tim

David,

I strongly recommend 7.1RC1 over 7.0.3 since it builds OOTB under Cygwin
(and for others reasons too).

If you are determined to using 7.0.3, then please see the following:

    http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html

for instructions *and* patches to build cleanly under Cygwin.

Be careful of Cygwin 1.1.8, see the following for details:

    http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-ports/2001-03/msg00096.html

Nope, you found the right list.

Thanks so much, Tim.  I'm glad you got it to work in Cygwin 1.1.8.
That should make life easier.

Cheers,
David
