Ok, but this is going to take a while as few of the mirrors seem to have
this release yet. I also need to download a new set of everything for
reasons I won't go into.

Is there actually a reason for this though or are you just trying to
keep me busy? :-) It can't be a good thing for us to require that people
upgrade to the latest release of their OS.

I believe a new bison is required now. Don't know much about it other
than ecpg hit some limit or other and much discussion followed. Iirc,
it's only an issue when compiling from CVS, not a tarball.

1.50 of Bison fixed the issue, 1.75 works as well (current public
release).

Just my $.02.

My WAG is that you will be able to upgrade your Cygwin installation
before I fix the Cygwin build issues. :,)

Agreed, but sometimes a new Cygwin release fixes some problems and
breaks others...

The above should help save me some time.

Thanks,

Dave,

I guess my WAG was wrong... :,)

Under the following platform:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TISHLERJASON 1.3.14(0.62/3/2) 2002-10-23 14:47 i686 unknown

all make installcheck tests pass except for horology. However, the
horology failure is to be expected due to the recent time change.

Unfortunately, there are some Cygwin build issues that I need to
address:

1. Cygwin bison needs to be upgraded from 1.35 to 1.75 (i.e., 1.50+) to
process src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y successfully. I will post
to the Cygwin mailing list asking the maintainer for this upgrade.

2. The following fseeko/ftello ifdef in src/include/pg_config.h.in:

#ifndef HAVE_FSEEKO
#define fseeko(a, b, c) fseek((a), (b), (c))
#define ftello(a) ftell((a))
#endif

conflicts with the following Cygwin /usr/include/stdio.h entries:

int _EXFUN(fseeko, (FILE *, off_t, int));
off_t _EXFUN(ftello, ( FILE *));

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what is the best way to solve this one yet.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
