[HACKERS] cygwin gcc problem.

[Gary MacDougall]

I'm trying to compile postgresql on Windows 2000.  I've followed the directions accordingly.   When I run the "configure" script, and I get the following error message:     configure: error installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot creat e executables.   If anyone has any clues, I'd greatly appreciate the assistance.   Thanks, Gary     ////////////////////////////////////// $ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking echo setting... checking setting template to... cygwin32 configure: warning: *** Include directory /usr/local/include does not exist. checking whether to support locale... disabled checking whether to support cyrillic recode... disabled checking whether to support multibyte... disabled checking setting DEF_PGPORT... 5432 checking setting DEF_MAXBACKENDS... 32 checking setting USE_TCL... disabled checking setting USE_PERL... disabled checking setting USE_ODBC... disabled checking setproctitle... disabled checking setting ASSERT CHECKING... disabled checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot creat e executables.
