Re: postgresql 8.0 with cygwin - success

Hello,
I'm just writing to let you know that latest cvs version of 8.0-beta3 is
working fine under cygwin - there are no problems with compiling and
running innitdb. All contrib modules are also working (except spi).

Regards,
ML

Great. Thanks. I was getting conflicting reports of Cygwin problems
before.

Not for me:

I found a problem with my pg_ctl patch (WIN32 is always defined in
cygwin when windows.h is included, and the START /B postmaster cmdline
doesn't work on cygwin). Patch will be posted soon.

But I finished now the plperl.sql regression tests and wait for
a clean regression suite to run through.
Another problem is related to SUBST'ed drives. (net helpmsg 140)

Yes, I was wondering about that use of START. What I think we will do
is to add a comment that including windows.h in that file defines WIN32
and have an #ifndef __CYGWIN__ in places that need it --- just let me
know.

Right. pg_ctl is not working - I didn't noticed that, because I use
postmaster instead pg_ctl. Below pg_ctl error:
$ pg_ctl start
START: not found
pg_ctl: could not start postmaster: exit code was 32512

It would be great - I've just tried to run some plperl function, but no
luck (postgresql crashed).

Attached is my improved version: (just as you said)

* Fix previous pg_ctl patch (WIN32 is always defined in cygwin when
windows.h is included, and the START /B postmaster cmdline doesn't
work on cygwin.

You can safely ignore the patches of other two files, but these are my
remaining issues. (cygpg.dll just for overall conformancy).

I still have to test how it interacts with the eventlog if started as
service. (under different users)
However it should be better than the 7.x versions, which had lotta
problems with logfile file-permissions, because services are run as the
SYSTEM user.

:( as with 7.x

But first I have to find the SUBST problem (errno 140).
Then I will do some heavy IPC debugging with plperl.
(src/backend/port/ipc_test.c has to be fixed for old-style elog handling)
Then I have to do the mbregress tests (multibyte on cygwin? maybe newlib
has some remaining issues)

I did things a little differently. I #undef WIN32 after including
windows.h on Cygwin and kept the defines the same except for the use of
START. This makes things more consistent.

Applied.

But more verbose. :)
But consistency is also good.

Thanks.

BTW, FYI: The current remaining cygwin problems I have seem to
have are all related with cygwin's IPC, cygserver corruption.
That's what my debugging sessions tell me. And it's reproducable.

cygserver -e -d &
ipcs
ok
initdb
fail
icps
bad signal (cygserver corrupt)

So it looks like it's not postgresql' fault. But I'll revive the old
ipc_test app and do more testing.
