Re: Installing PostgreSQL on winNT

if you download the cygwin (http://cygwin.com) toolkit it comes with 7.1.3
prebuilt for you and you don't have to go through the pain of building it
yourself. after installing cygwin (i recommend the FULL install unless you
know exactly what you are doing) you can read the postgres readme in
/usr/doc/cygwin for instructions on installing cygipc as well as running
both cygipc and postgres as win2k services.
