Installing PostgreSQL on Windows NT or Windows 2000
|
||||
===================================================
|
||||
$Date: 2000/10/17 03:29:30 $
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Cygwin package.
|
||||
|
||||
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 (1.1.4 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.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install the cygipc package, available at
|
||||
<http://cygutils.netpedia.net/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: By default, PostgreSQL clients like psql communicate using Unix
|
||||
domain sockets, which do not work on Windows. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem reports can be sent to <pgsql-ports@postgresql.org>.
