You for pgsql/docs/README.NT. I certainly see it here.
Oops. CVS says:
revision 1.1
date: 1999/06/16 18:09:59; author: momjian; state: Exp;
Add NT readme file.
Which means it was not put in 6.5, but will appear in 6.5.1. I think
someone asked about it just after 6.5, and I added it. I am attaching
it to this message.
Sorry for the confusion.

Installing PostgreSQL on NT:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It can be done by done by typing configure, make and make install.
1. Install the Cygwin package
2. Update to EGCS 1.1.2
1. Install the Andy Piper Tools
1. Download the Cygwin32 IPC Package by Ludovic LANGE.
2. Untar the package and follow the readme instructions.
3. I tested 1.03.
4. I used the \cygwin-b20\h-i568-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\lib and
\cygwin-b20\h-i568-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\include\sys instead of the
/usr/local/lib and usr/local/include/sys.
1. Download the current snapshot.tar.gz (24-3-98).
2. Untar the package.
3. Copy the files from \pgsql\src\win32 according to the readme file.
3. Edit \pgsql\src\template\cygwin32 if needed (I had to adjust the YFLAGS
path).
4. ./configure
5. make
6. create the directory /usr/local/pgsql manually: the mkdir cannot create a
directory 2 levels deep in one step.
7. make install
8. cd /usr/lical/pgsql/doc
9. make install
10. Set the environmental data
11. Initdb --username=jkr (do not run this command as administrator)
12. Open a new Cygwin command prompt
13. Start "ipc-deamon&" (background proces)
14. Start "postmaster -i 2>&1 > /tmp/postgres.log &" (background proces)
15. Start "tail -f /tmp/postgres.log" to see the messages
16. cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/test/regress
17. make all runtest
All test should be run, allthought the latest snapshot I tested (18-4)
appears to have some problems with locking.
