[postgis] PostGIS and NT

[Erik Brenn]

Hi,

If you want to run PostgreSQL on NT you need to first install the cygwin
unix emulator, and then compile PostgreSQL under this environment, which
usally is pretty much straight-forward. You can get cygwin from
http://www.cygwin.com. Additionally you will need the cygipc library
(http://cygutils.netpedia.net), which provides shared memory and semaphores
for cygwin.

Good luck...
