Обсуждение: IpcMemoryDetach fails under Cygwin on Win98
I'm frantically trying to get PostgreSQL 7.0.3 installed on my laptop so I can work on my database while on holiday next week. I've got it to compile fine with the latest version of Cygwin, with cygipc-1.08, however, when I start postmaster, it fails: $ ipc-daemon & $ postmaster -i & [2] 528923 $ G:\CYGW\USR\LOCAL\PGSQL\BIN\POSTGRES.EXE: *** recreate_mmaps_after_for k_failed Startup failed - abort NOTICE: IpcMemoryDetach: shmdt(0x0x82f6a000): Invalid argument NOTICE: IpcMemoryDetach: shmdt(0x0x86ba1000): Invalid argument NOTICE: IpcMemoryDetach: shmdt(0x0x82c50000): Invalid argument I have applied the patch indicated in a previous thread for cygipc, but the error still persists. I also tried version 1.07. I note from the mailing list that someone has had PostgreSQL working under Win98 before - I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me get this working. [ I can't seem to get gdb to work properly under Cygwin (would not find the source files), so I was unable to step through the code and see what the problem is. ] Thanks! -- Jamie Walker "My dear boy, forget about the motivation. jamie@sagaxis.co.uk Just say the lines and don't trip over the http://www.sagaxis.co.uk/ furniture."

The above problem is due to Cygwin 1.1.8, see the following for more
information:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00030.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg00098.html
You can "fix" the problem by temporarily downgrading to Cygwin 1.1.7.
Please do me a favor and forward this to pgsql-ports@postgresql.org, if
you don't see my response there too. I have been having problem posting
recently. When it rains it pours...
Thanks,
Jason

Did you read all of the FAQ?
The database server does not run on MS Windows
9X because Cygwin does not support the required features on those
platforms. We have no plan to do a native port to any Microsoft
platform.

To which FAQ are you referring. The only one that I can find is:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin
Although my use of PostgreSQL on Windows 98 was casual and very short in
duration, PostgreSQL 7.0.2 seemed to run fine. To what Cygwin missing
features on Windows 9X or Me are you referring? Note that this inquiry
is purely academic. When forced to use Windows I would only seriously
consider using NT 4.0 or 2000 -- never 9X or Me.
Thanks,
Jason

IIRC, I tried out PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on Cygwin 1.1.4 on Windows 98 in the 9/2000 time frame. But, my guess is that PostgreSQL would run on Windows 9X on Cygwin 1.1.1 (i.e., the first Net Release) or later. I think that Cygwin 1.1.1 was released in the spring 2000 time frame. > Can other Win98/Cygin people comment on when it > started working on Win98? Unfortunately, I never ran the regression tests on Windows 9X or Me. I also will not have access to a 9X or Me machine for a while. Can someone run the regression tests on such a machine and report back to the list? Cygwin runs pretty much the same on 9X/Me as on NT/2000 except for a few rough edges and some perceived pokiness. I think that the services that PostgreSQL needs from Cygwin should be okay on 9X/Me but the regression test results will give us the definitive answer.

Not surprisingly :-) Someone followed my page to install PostgreSQL to Windows 98 last year, he told me that it runs on Win98 with no problems. Because I don't have Win98, I can't test it whether it works nor not.

I would change the first sentence above to:
The database server can run on Windows NT, 2000, 9X, and Me using
Cygwin, the Red Hat Unix/Windows porting library.
But, I recommend holding off on the update until someone runs the
regression test. Especially, because of the following:

Yutaka has proven himself very knowledgeable in the area of Cygwin PostgreSQL
and I think that we should heed his warning.
