[postgis-users] Newbie: Windows Install Help

[Obe, Regina DND\MIS]

Chip,

Hope this helps - this is what I have from my instructions.  Make sure that
you have the below source packages in your /cygwin/usr/src tree and go into
each folder and compile each separately (not sure if you need to, but I
did).  I think that worked for me.  This was based on 7.1.3, but I think it
still holds true for 7.2

The following packages or later are required to build and/or execute
Cygwin PostgreSQL:

    crypt 1.0.1
    cygipc 1.09
    readline 4.2-3
    zlib 1.1.3
    cygwin 1.3.2

Norman...

I've retried this using several download options w/ cygwin setup. I first
just downloaded the binary, then the source. Either way, I'm still getting
the same error:

  pg_passwd.o(.text+0x763):pg_passwd.c: undefined reference to `crypt'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[3]: *** [pg_passwd] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
  make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
  make: *** [all] Error 2

... I logged the make session, and this appears to be the offending line:

  make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/postgresql-7.2.1-2/src/bin/pg_passwd'
  gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -L/usr/local/lib
-g  pg_passwd.o -lz -lreadline 
    -lcygipc -o pg_passwd

If I look in the configure log file, I also see the following two lines:

  checking for library containing crypt... (cached) no
...and
  checking for crypt.h... (cached) no

------------------------------------------
So...I'm totally confused... do I have to re-configure cygipc to make it
recognize the new library? Do I need to run "make" on crypt before I run the
postgreSQL configure? The name of the source directory for crypt is
crypt-1.0, not just crypt... could this be the problem?

TIA

Chip

rerun the cygwin setup program and make sure you have 'crypt'
package selected for download under the 'Libs' category and
try building again
