# Porting PostgreSQL to Windows 2000 installation procedures

Thanks to Daniel Horak, JasonTishler ,Joost Kraaijeveld and Pete Formanfor their helps.
Without them, I cannot port Postgres to Windows 2000 successfully.

- Install the lastest verion(1.1.5) of Cygwin

1. Click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwinwebpage.
This downloads setup.exe to your system.
2. Run setup and answer all of the questions. Please choose a mirror sitefor your download.

- Install Charles Wilson's Cygwin32 IPC package

1. Download the precompiled binary http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/cygipc-1.07-1.tar.gzin"/" directory.
2. tar zxvf cygipc-1.07-1.tar.gz

- Install PostgreSQL 7.0.3

1. Download PostgreSQL 7.0.3 sourcecode in /usr/src.
2. tar zxvf postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz
3. mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/{bin,include,lib,data}
4. cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src/win32
5. cp endian.h /usr/include
cp tcp.h /usr/include/netinet
6. Apply Jason Tishler's patches in /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3, then run 'patch -p1 <patch.diff'.
Note that some browsers convert the patch to a text mode file (i.e., CRNL line endings)
during the save operation which causes patch to reject all hunks.
7. cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src, then run './configure'
8. make; make install
9. cp/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pq.dll /usr/local/pgsql/bin
10. Usingany editor to create .bashrc in / directory as belows:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/bin
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH PGDATA PGLIB
11. source/.bashrc, then run 'initdb'
Note that the owner of the DB system have to be different from root/administrator
12. Editthe file /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf, such as:

host all 163.17.11.109 255.255.255.0 trust

13. ipc-daemon&
14. postmaster-i&
15. Run' psql -h host_name template1'. It's easy, huh :-)
