Installing PostgreSQL on NT:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It can be done by done by typing configure, make and make install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install the Cygwin package
|
|
|
|
|
2. Update to EGCS 1.1.2
|
|
|
|
|
(This may be optional.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONAL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install the Andy Piper Tools (http://www.xemacs.freeserve.co.uk/)
|
|
|
|
|
(This may be optional.)
|
|
|
|
|
You need at least the crypt library (also available as
|
|
|
|
|
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/libcrypt-cygwin-b20.1.tar.bz2)
|

CYGWIN32 INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download the Cygwin32 IPC Package by Ludovic LANGE
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.multione.capgemini.fr:80/tools/pack_ipc/current.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
2. Untar the package and follow the readme instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Apply the patch pgsql/src/win32/ipc.patch to the cygipc sources
|
|
|
|
|
before compiling the library.
|
|
|
|
|
4. I tested 1.03.
|
|
|
|
|
5. I used the \cygwin-b20\h-i568-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\lib and
|
|
|
|
|
\cygwin-b20\h-i568-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\include\sys instead of the
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/lib and usr/local/include/sys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the cygnus-bindir has to be placed in the path before the
|
|
|
|
|
NT-directories, because the sort.exe has to be taken for cygnus, not
|
|
|
|
|
NT.
|

POSTGRESQL INSTALL WITH NT SPECIFICS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download the current version of PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Untar the package.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Copy the files from \pgsql\src\win32 according to the readme file.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Edit \pgsql\src\template\cygwin32 if needed (I had to adjust the YFLAGS
|
|
|
|
|
path).
|
|
|
|
|
5. ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
6. make
|
|
|
|
|
7. create the directory /usr/local/pgsql manually: the mkdir cannot create a
|
|
|
|
|
directory 2 levels deep in one step.
|
|
|
|
|
8. make install
|
|
|
|
|
9. cd /usr/lical/pgsql/doc
|
|
|
|
|
10. make install
|
|
|
|
|
11. Set the environmental data
|
|
|
|
|
12. Initdb --username=jkr (do not run this command as administrator)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Open a new Cygwin command prompt
|
|
|
|
|
14. Start "ipc-deamon&" (background proces)
|
|
|
|
|
15. Start "postmaster -i 2>&1 > /tmp/postgres.log &" (background proces)
|
|
|
|
|
16. Start "tail -f /tmp/postgres.log" to see the messages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/test/regress
|
|
|
|
|
18. make all runtest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All test should be run, allthought the latest snapshot I tested (18-4)
|
|
|
|
|
appears to have some problems with locking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
|
|
|
By default, PostgreSQL clients like psql communicate using unix domain
|
|
|
|
|
sockets, which don't work on NT. Start the postmaster with -i, and
|
|
|
|
|
when connecting to the database from a client, set the PGHOST
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable to 'localhost' or supply the hostname on the
|
|
|
|
|
command line.
