Re: "make" in postgresql windows install fails

hi jason,
Thanks for suggestion. but i already installed cygipc package. and in
\\cygwin only.
the issue is i cannot use ./configure command, since there is no configure
file under prebuilt binaries of postgresql comes with cygwin. i need to do
this for the purpose of postgis.
as u r previous suggestions, if i want to go for postgis, i need to compilt
postgresql7.3.4 source. but when i try to compile that one, gcc giivng msg
as "cannot create executables". it means gcc is not installed properly. i
did the installation of cygwin lot of times for correct gcc.but cannot solve
the isse.is there any other way yo make gcc works.(gcc comes with cygwin
installation).

any help please...

Rgds,
Prasad.Ch

I recommend the following to download and extract cygipc:

    $ wget -nd -P /tmp
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/cygipc-1.14-1.tar.
bz2
    $ tar -C / -xjf /tmp/cygipc-1.14-1.tar.bz2

Note the cygipc site seems to be down right now...
