I tried to install PostgreSQL without success.
At the beginning I wrote:
./ipc-daemon --install-as-service
net start ipc-daemon
the computer correctly answer:
The Cygwin IPC Daemon service is starting.
The Cygwin IPC Daemon service was started
successfully.
Now if I try to configure PostgreSQL a bug occurs.
If I write:
./configure
the computer answer:
loading cache ./config.cache

configure: error: installation or configuration
problem: C compiler cannot creat
e executables.
and then it stops. I don't understand why because
cygipc runs, doesn't it?
the .log file contains:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes
a mistake.

Have you any ideas why it happens?
Many thanks, best regards,
Giuliano Castelli.
