-How do I install the PostgreSQL server on Windows NT or Windows 2000?
-=====================================================================
+ The Cygwin package provides a UNIX-like API on top of the Win32
+ API. It is available at .
+ The 1.1.x series is recommended (1.1.7 was the latest at the time
+ of this writing); using 1.0 or B20 might require extra efforts.
+ For B20 you also need to download the separate crypt library at the
+ same location.

- Thanks to Daniel Horak, JasonTishler ,Joost Kraaijeveld and Pete
- Formanfor their helps.
- Without them, I cannot port Postgres to Windows 2000 successfully.
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- * Install the lastest verion(1.1.5) of Cygwin
-
- 1. Click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
- http://sources.redhat.com/cygwinwebpage.
- This downloads setup.exe to your system.
- 2. Run setup and answer all of the questions. Please
- choose a mirror sitefor your download.
- * Install Charles Wilson's Cygwin32 IPC package
-
- 1. Download the precompiled binary
- http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/cygipc-
- 1.07-1.tar.gzin"/" directory.
- 2. tar zxvf cygipc-1.07-1.tar.gz
- * Install PostgreSQL 7.0.3
-
- 1. Download PostgreSQL 7.0.3 sourcecode in /usr/src.
- 2. tar zxvf postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz
- 3. mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/{bin,include,lib,data}
- 4. cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src/win32
- 5. cp endian.h /usr/include
- cp tcp.h /usr/include/netinet
- 6. Apply Jason Tishler's patches in
- /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3, then run 'patch -p1
- Note that some browsers convert the patch to a text
- mode file (i.e., CRNL line endings)
- during the save operation which causes patch to reject
- all hunks.
- 7. cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src, then run
- './configure'
- 8. make; make install
- 9. cp/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pq.dll /usr/local/pgsql/bin
- 10. Usingany editor to create .bashrc in / directory as
- belows:
- PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/bin
- PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
- PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/lib
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH PGDATA PGLIB
- 11. source/.bashrc, then run 'initdb'
- Note that the owner of the DB system have to be
- different from root/administrator
- 12. Editthe file /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf, such as:
-
- host all 163.17.11.109 255.255.255.0
- trust
-
- 13. ipc-daemon&
- 14. postmaster-i&
- 15. Run' psql -h host_name template1'. It's easy, huh :-)

+2. Install the cygipc package, available at
+ .
+ Do not use versions prior to 1.04, they will not work.
+
+3. Optional: The "Andy Piper Tools" at
+ are a collection of pre-compiled libraries and utilities that you
+ might find useful -- especially on Cygwin B20.
+
+4. The Cygwin bin directory has to be placed in the path before the
+ Windows program directories, because the sort.exe has to be taken
+ from Cygwin, not Windows.
+
+5. Start `ipc-daemon &' (background process) from the cygipc package.
+ This program needs to be running anytime you start the PostgreSQL
+ server (postmaster).
+
+6. Proceed according to the INSTALL file. (./configure; make; etc.)
+
+NOTE: There are two issues with Cygwin's current UNIX domain socket
+support:
+
+1. psql (and other clients) will hang if postmaster is not running and
+ the socket file (e.g., /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432) exists.
+
+2. Cygwin's AF_UNIX sockets are really implemented as AF_INET sockets
+ so they are inherently insecure.
+
