I removed the cygwin from path, but it does not help !
It looks like "ac_config_links" does not work with win2000 (MinGW-2.0.0.3),
because none of the : src/backend/port/dynloader.c src/backend/port/pg_sema.c src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c
src/include/dynloader.h src/include/pg_config_os.h src/Makefile.port
are not created(linked)
Acording to autoconf manual ac_config_links: "Makes a symbolic link if
possible, otherwise a hard link."
After manualy linking files with : ln src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 src/Makefile.port ln
src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.csrc/backend/port/dynloader.c ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.h
src/include/dynloader.h ln src/include/port/win32.h src/include/pg_config_os.h ln src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c
src/backend/port/pg_sema.c ln src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c
it compiles !
I asume that this is not error in postgresql makefiles, but some problem
with minGW.
I'll try to figure it out, maybe question to minGW list would help.
Regards !
