Обсуждение: New PostgreSQL binary distro for Windows NT
Hi all! I'll try it again, using a different approach. This distribution allows you to run postmaster as a service under Win NT, and was tested on two completely different machines. It uses the cygwin setup schema to install, so it also supports easy installation for users that have cygwin already installed. Download the README and distribution from ftp://129.247.96.142/PostgresNT. You will need either PostgreSQL-7.0.2-1.tar.gz (if you already have cygwin 1.1.4) or pqsql-NT-complete-0.1.zip if you want don't have cygwin 1.1.4 (and don't plan to install it from another source). cygipc-1.07.tar.gz can be found there, too. After download, please follow the instructions in README. Please contact me for any installation reports. I hope, this works better for most users - it's cleaner than my first attempt in many respects. Greetings, Joerg

The following MS KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q243/4/86.ASP indicates that AutoExNT is part of the MS Windows 2000 Resource Kit. If the licensing terms of the MS Windows 2000 Resource Kit is the same as the MS Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit, then AutoExNT is not freely distributable. This is the same issue that srvany.exe (from the MS Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit) has. My suggestion would be to remove your distro's dependency on AutoExNT and replace it will Idetix's Invoker which is unencumbered. You can find Invoker at: http://www.idetix.com/files/invkr153.zip BTW, I may eventually patch postmaster (i.e., postgres.exe) to be a true NT service similar to what Cygwin did for inetd.exe. If so, I will certainly submit this patch for consideration.
