Also, in that FAQ, there are instructions on building a native Win32 port of PostgreSQL without Cygwin. I once tried to point the OP to those instructions, but he insisted on building it with Cygwin. Building without Cygwin involved downloading the bleeding edge CVS versions, and when I tried to compile, I had one minor error which I fixed, and by the time I reported the error it was already fixed in CVS.

Since they don't officially support native Win32 yet, I'm willing to put up with a few glitches, and am willing (and so far able) to deal with them. I don't know why Wassercrats is having so much trouble, when TIMTOWTDI. Maybe when the official Win32 port comes out, there'll be an install.exe or msi file available, and he'll be happy.
