Are you trying to use the already patched source that I distribute with
my pre-built Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution?  If so, then there is no
reason to apply the above mentioned patches again -- the source builds
OOTB.  If you are not careful, you may actual reverse patch them out of
the source.

Anyway why don't you just use the pre-built binary distribution?  Is
there some reason that it does not meet your needs?

Jason, i didn't use the pre-built because my documentation says how to biuld
it complete, so i was trying to do that. I didn't know that postgresql was
included in CygWin. Now i'm trying with the one is included in cygwin, but
it daesn't download me the version 7.1.3, so i'm trying with 7.1.2-3.
I'm executing "initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data"
it hangs when is "Creating template1 database in
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1" and if i stop the process it hangs again in
the next step.
What's the problem ???????

Thanks
Tamara

I'll leap bravely (foolishly?) into the thread and suggest that you might
not have cygipc installed and the ipc-daemon running.

I just built and uploaded 7.1.3 yesterday -- it should propagate to the
Cygwin mirrors shortly.

Did you read the README file?

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.2.README

If so, then you would have noted the following:

1. Install the latest cygipc from:

    http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/index.html

2. Install the cygipc ipc-daemon as a service, if appropriate for your platform
   (NT/2000 only):

    $ ipc-daemon --install-as-service

3. Start the cygipc ipc-daemon, as appropriate for your platform:

    $ net start ipc-daemon # NT/2000 or
    $ ipc-daemon &         # 9X/Me

If ipc-daemon is not running, then PostgreSQL (i.e, initdb and postmaster)
will hang.

Sorry, but from your email it appeared that you didn't do both.
Actually, many people don't do both... :,(

Hmm...  Sounds like something is wrong with your Cygwin setup.
This type of problem is more appropriate on the Cygwin mailing list
(cygwin@cygwin.com).

You are welcome -- I'm glad that you are up and running.
