The only thing I found that is my next question is why it didn't seem to
create a data folder when it installed the binaries. I'm looking for
documentation on this but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

Please respond to postgis-users
It is not necessary to compile any of these yourself, or even to install
the
source.
When I (recently, just a few days ago) did a cygwin/postGIS install, I did
download the source for cygipc and compile it myself, but that was only
because
it wasn't available in a pre-compiled version (to my knowledge). I used the
cygwin setup program to install the binaries of the crypt, readline, and
zlib
libraries. I also wouldn't recommend trying to compile postgres yourself -
just
use the setup program to install both the binaries and source. You do need
to
run ./configure in the postgres source directory, because some options in
the
makefile.global are used by postgis in its makefile. Then you just have to
untar
the postgis source into the postgres tree, and make it.
