I have the latest Cygwin and PostgreSQL 7.2. Using the installation instructions at http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html, make produces the messages: pg_passwd.o(.text+0x763):pg_passwd.c: undefined reference to 'crypt' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [pg_passwd] Error 1
The installation using the standalone PostgreSQL download works better than trying to install the Cygwin version. The target of this project is to install SQL-ledger but, if PostgreSQL works well, I might use it for other projects. The reason I persevere on NT is I need solutions that work on NT, Solaris, and Linux. MySQL, using Berkeley tables for transactions, does work on all those platforms but I hear the Berkeley tables use page locking instead of row locking. Oracle is an easy to deploy alternative but I am not about to pay $40,000 for an Oracle licence just so I can perform a few hours development each month. What I need is a bullet proof way of installing PostgreSQL on NT.
