I can't remember exactly where I got these sources from, but indeed I also got the binary. Nevertheless, when trying to run it initdb just hangs though ipc-daemon is running.
initdb hangs at
"Creating template1 database in /usr/data/base/1"
Then when I kill postgres.exe, I have:
"initdb failed.
Removing /usr/data.
Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.896."
and sometimes I have one more line mentionning IPC daemon.

Before I copy libcygipc.a to /lib, ./configure stops with an error. In config.log, it says:
"/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lcygipc"

I was not clear enough, this was the warning that came before some errors preventing from building. I had not checked config.log though before make, it contains a numbre of warnings and errors such as:
confdefs.h:6:24: warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated
cpp0: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include"
cpp0: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory
configure:6562: `rl_completion_append_character' undeclared (first use in this function)

and the make return some errors as:
"../../../../src/include/config.h:680:15: missing terminating
../../../../src/include/config.h:35:24: possible start of un
teral
../../../../src/include/config.h:15:1: unterminated #ifndef
In file included from ../../../../src/include/postgres.h:48,"
and some more undefined.

Sorry to bother you with this.
I have a really strong need of running PostgreSQL 7.1.2.
Any help you may give me to build 7.1.2 is greatly appreciated.
And in the end, if I don't manage to build it or run the binaries I got, I would also greatly appreciate if you don't mind too much to send me those binaries.

Anyway I hope I am not too much of a nuisance.
