[postgis-users] Newbie: Windows Install Help

[Hankley, Chip]

Thanks Tyler... that got me a LITTLE farther! Still problems though.

I followed Norman Vine's instructions from last year - see

http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2001-June/000025.html

The last few lines of the output after I make (this is the make for
PostgreSQL) show errors:

...
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lcrypt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1
make[1]: *** [array_iterator.dll] Error 1
rm array_iterator.o
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/postgresql-7.2.1-2/contrib/array'
make: *** [all] Error 2

The only error that I see is the "cannot find -lcrypt. Sure enuf, there's
not a file or directory by that name in the i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ - is that
what this means? Where can I get it? Are the instructions Norman provided
still valid?

TIA!
