  1. Announce: PostgreSQL-6.5.3 binaries available for Windows NT

    Kevin Lo <kevlo@hello.com.tw> — 1999-12-21T15:38:43Z

    Hi,

Some people asked me to build PostgreSQL binaries for Windows NT.
The binaries(PostgreSQL-6.5.3) are now available at:

ftp://203.79.167.135/pub/postgres-nt-binaries.tar.gz

Please go to my page if you want to build it yourself :)

http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html

The Chinese version is at:

http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT_Big5.html

Enjoy!
Kevin.

And could someone please put a note about them on www.postgresql.org ?

I searched it on Sunday for just this and I could only find a link to
the last url - the chinese translation ;(

    Does the binary contain sql server with it?

Sure. Please run "psql -h hostName template1".

Hi,

I'm trying this on Win98 (cygwin b20.1): initdb creates template1 just
fine (I had to run it as sh initdb), but whenever I try to run
postgres.exe,
it complains

FATAL 1:  Database system does not exist.  PGDATA
directory '/usr/local/pgsql/data' not found

even if two minutes ago it worked and the directory is there of course.
Some funny problem with mount? Any help will be greatly apreciated.

It's easy to compile and install ipc-daemon, that's why I didn't
include that file :)

mount? You can't run psql server on Windows 98 platform. The PostgreSQL
doesn't generate pq.dll if you notice it.

    Kevin,

We are interested in funding work to get postgresql working on Windows
9x.

I know that cgywin is available for Win9x but that parts of the api are
not available.

Do you believe it will be possible to build and run postgresql on Win9x?
How much work would be involved?

Thanks

Dave

I wonder if it would be easier to pay Cygnus to port the missing pieces.
 Can you give us a detailed list of the missing features the PostgreSQL
needs the Cgywin doesn't have on Win9x?

I'm gonna implement Tcl/Tk API with PostgreSQL, let users can write
GUI apps. But it seems to take a lot of time...
Some people told me they can use NT binaries on Win98.
Well, I don't test it yet.
