I just need to be able to get past the initdb failureIf you install mingw, then you just compile and make like any other platform with the instructions provided in the main documentation. I never used cygwin, but I assume the process is the same.
There's one small wrinkle. After you run "make install" you need to be sure that libpq.dll is in a place where it will be found by the programs that need it (including initdb). That's why the buildfarm script copies it from <installroot>/lib to <installroot>/bin on Windows and Cygwin (meaning that we don't have to mangle the path or put the DLL in the system folder).
