I'm running the combo below (Cygwin 1.3.22-1, Postgresql 7.3.3-1)
successfully on my XP Home pc using cygipc 1.14-1, which I downloaded from
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/index.htm per
directions in the README
(if that link doesn't work, you can try
http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/cygipc/)
It's my understanding that cygipc's always been a kind of "off to the side"
kind of thing whose first cygwin incarnation is v2.0 (which is still under
construction). In other words, you probably need to get and use 1.14-1
until 2.0 is in better shape.

Subject: [CYGWIN] Problem with cygipc __getreent
Hi. I read the docs and saw I needed cygipc to use PGsql under w32. I
installed Cygipc using cygwin's setup program. When trying to run ipctest, I
get:
"The procedure entry point __getreent could not be located in the dynamic
link library cygwin.dll"
I googled for the error, found nothing. Found cygipc was depreciated and got
a bunch of broken links to that effect.
Trying initdb anyway gives the error:
creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1...
IpcSemaphoreCreat
e: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed: Function not implemented
Tried on 2 machines, both Win2000, one has SP3
Cygipc 2.00-2
Cygwin 1.3.22-1
Postgresql 7.3.3-1
Thanks for the help. I thought this was appropriate here as pgsql is the
only major user of cygipc as far as I can tell. If not, please direct me
elsewhere.
