[HACKERS] cygwin gcc problem.
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 create executables. If anyone has any clues, I'd greatly appreciate the assistance.

I think you need to ask on the cygwin lists. If you're compiling this on Windows 2000 you already need a compiler to compile it. I would just find the binary distribution and install that. -Alfred
RE: [HACKERS] cygwin gcc problem.
I sucessfully compiled 7.0.2 on Win 2000 recently. I had a lot of problems when I first installed cygwin and I select default text type of DOS. When i removed cygwin, and changed that option during install it all worked (I'm not sure if I swited it from DOS to Unix, or from Unix to DOS). I'm not sure that's the problem you are having but it helped me. -Original Message- From: Alfred Perlstein To: Gary MacDougall Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11/11/00 1:31 PM Subject: Re: [HACKERS] cygwin gcc problem. * Gary MacDougall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [00 11:28] wrote: > I'm trying to compile postgresql on Windows 2000.

Re: [HACKERS] cygwin gcc problem.
Still no luck with this. I'm at a loss. Has ANYONE been able to compile PostgreSQL on Windows 2000 with the CYGWIN package? If so, I'd be glad to know what steps were taken to accomplish this. I tried Matthew's suggestions, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I'm starting to wonder now if I've got a buggy CYGWIN... My goal here is to have a decent PostgresSQL distribution for W2K, which of course I'll make available in Installation form. However, if I can't get this sucker going, its not going to happen.

Re: [HACKERS] cygwin gcc problem.
I can't remember now where I found this, but I followed the instructions here -- http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html -- to the letter just last night and was successful in getting PostgreSQL running on my W2K laptop. As mentioned below, I selected Unix file type for the CYGWIN installation. I haven't played too much with it yet, but I was able to create a new database and load a database dump from a RedHat machine.
