Postgres 7.1.3. installation on Windows platforms

Dear all, I am trying to install PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on Win98 with APACHE and PHP (both installed and running), and am getting errors with "make" and "make install" (see below). What are the differences in installations for Win98, WinNT and Win2000? There are so many procedures around and none is working without problems. I installed Cygwin to emulate UNIX environment and Cygwin IPC to support the linker (ld.exe). I dowloaded "postgresql-7.1.3.tar.gz". "./configure" finished properly with "un.h" and "tcp.h" installed BUT without "endian.h" (is this important ???) I also copied "libpostgres.a" into "/usr/local/lib". There are some Windows Makefiles ("../src/win32.mak" and "../src/makefiles/Makefile.win) - Do I need to run some and how and when. I can run "postmaster -i&" after IMPROPER installation BUT "psql" does not work. Also, PHP commands of type "pg_*" are not recognised. I turned ON (I believe) PHP-Postgres in "php.ini" file residing in Windows dir by allowing "extension=php_pgsql.dll". What is WRONG? Many thanks, Steven. **************** "make" and "make install" ERRORS: .... gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o copy.o startup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o tab-complete.o -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L/usr/local/lib -g -lz -lcrypt -lreadline -lcygipc -o psql tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c: undefined reference to `filename_completion_function' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [psql] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin/psql' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 **************** -- *********************************************** Steven Vajdic (BSc/Hon, MSc) Senior Software Engineer Motorola Australia Software Centre (MASC) 2 Second Avenue, Technology Park Adelaide, South Australia 5095 email: Steven.Vajdic@motorola.com email: svajdic@asc.corp.mot.com Ph.: +61-8-8168-3543 Fax: +61-8-8168-3501 Front Office (Ph): +61-8-8168-3500 ---------------------------------------- mobile: +61 (0)419 860 903 AFTER WORK email: steven_vajdic@ivillage.com Home address: 6 Allawah Av., Glen Osmond SA 5064, Australia ---------------------------------------- ***********************************************
