How do I installing PostgreSQL on Windows NT or Windows 2000?
=============================================================

1. Install the Cygwin package.
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 <http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/>.
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.
Porting PostgreSQL to Windows 2000 installation procedures
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 <patch.diff'.
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
<http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/>.
Do not use versions prior to 1.04, they will not work.
3. Optional: The "Andy Piper Tools" at <http://www.xemacs.freeserve.co.uk/>
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.
Problem reports can be sent to <pgsql-ports@postgresql.org>.
