Re: cygwin gcc problem.

Still no luck with this. I'm at a loss.

Has ANYONE been able to compile PostgreSQL on Windows 2000
with the CYGWIN package? If so, I'd be glad to know what steps
were taken to accomplish this.
I tried Matthew's suggestions, but that didn't seem to make a difference.
I'm starting to wonder now if I've got a buggy CYGWIN...

My goal here is to have a decent PostgresSQL distribution for W2K, which
of course I'll make available in Installation form. However, if I can't get
this sucker going, its not going to happen.

Thanks in advance,
Gary
