* configure + Makefile changes * shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent cygwin bug under cygwin/EXEC_BACKEND case only) * PATH env var separator differences * missing win32 rand functions added * placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking for a patch :-): * child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed to do) * dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls * dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro * slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir (fixed by next version of MingW) Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start, and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just don't expect too much else from it at this point... Claudio Natoli |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains several language bindings, including C and Tcl. The JDBC, ODBC, C++, and Python interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
