Thread: Another crack at doing a Win32 build under MINGW

Another crack at doing a Win32 build under MINGW

1. I installed the latest version of Mingw from:

http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

2. I installed the current snapshot of Postgresql.

3. I tried ./configure -- went fine

4. I tried make clean -- went fine

5. I tried make and hit a few snags.

6. For both:

/postgresql-snapshot/src/backend/utils/float.c

and

/postgresql-snapshot/src/backend/utils/timestamp.c

I had to make this change:

/* for finite() on Solaris */
#ifdef HAVE_IEEEFP_H
#ifndef BUILDING_DLL /* bugbug DRC: ieeefp.h is present but badly broken on my installation of MINGW */
#include <ieeefp.h>
#endif /* end of bug patch */
#endif

7. For some strange reason, one of the symbolic links did not work correctly. I did a work-around as follows:

copy .\src\backend\port\sysv_sema.c src\backend\port\pg_sema.c

8. After making those changes, I got the following error:

gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations initdb.o -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L../../../src/port -lz -lreadline -lwsock32 -lcrypt -lresolv -lm -lpgport -lws2_32 -o initdb

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

I am able to build now, and perform initdb.  However, I cannot run the
postmaster.  I don't know how far along the port is.  What is the
current state of the port to Win32?

dcorbit@DANNFAST /usr/local/pgsql/bin
$ postmaster -D u:/pgdata
LOG:  select() failed in postmaster: No such file or directory

dcorbit@DANNFAST /usr/local/pgsql/bin
$ FATAL:  could not attach to proper memory at fixed address:
shmget(key=5432001, addr=00E10000) failed: No such file or directory

Or compile readline with your Mingw version, or just replace readline.a
with readline.dll in your lib directory.
All works with readline fine.
